It’s not at all that “Complicated:” Canadian pop-punk princess Avril Lavigne is extending her sold-out Greatest Hits Tour and bringing it to Cincinnati in June.

Due to overwhelming fan demand, Lavigne will be kicking off an extra 19-date tour in May, which will include a stop at Riverbend Music Center on Sunday, June 8. She’ll be joined by Simple Plan and We The Kings.

Tickets will first be available through an artist pre-sale on Tuesday, Dec. 3 at 10 a.m., with additional pre-sales running throughout the week. General on-sale begins Friday, Dec. 6 at 10 a.m. at ticketmaster.com and riverbend.org.

Greatest Hits Tour VIP packages will also be available and may include premium tickets, an invitation to the pre-show I’M WITH YOU Hospitality Lounge, a specially designed VIP merch bundle and more. Learn more at vipnation.com.

During a career that has spanned more than two decades, Lavigne has sold over 50 million albums worldwide and inspired a generation of Millennials to give convention the middle finger, all while wearing ties and Converse. In 2024, Lavigne returned to the stage with a massive run of sold-out concerts at venues in Los Angeles, Toronto and Las Vegas, and appeared in several major music festivals in the United Kingdom and Europe over the summer.

Fans attending her Greatest Hits concert can expect to hear some of her biggest songs to date, including RIAA three-time platinum-certified “Complicated;” two-time platinum-certified “Sk8er Boi;” two-time platinum-certified “Girlfriend;” platinum-certified “Here’s To Never Growing Up;” and more.
