On September 18th, 2024, Canadian music legend Avril Lavigne returned to Calgary for the final night of her "Greatest Hits" tour, performing to a sold-out crowd at the Scotiabank Saddledome. It was her first performance in the city since the "Bite Me" tour in May of 2022, and the night proved to be a nostalgic celebration of her iconic career, packed with fan-favourite anthems.

From the moment she launched into hits like "Complicated" and "Sk8er Boi," the energy in the arena was electric. The crowd sang every lyric back to her, matching the same fiery passion that Avril has brought to stages for over two decades.

The highlight of the evening came during the encore, when Avril closed the show with her 2002 hit ballad, "I'm With You." Nearly 20,000 fans lit up the Saddledome with their phones, creating a magical atmosphere. This intimate moment was the perfect way to end the night, solidifying the deep connection Avril shares with her fans.

The sold-out show was a testament to Avril’s enduring influence, as fans of all ages came together to celebrate the queen of pop-punk. Thank you, Avril, for an unforgettable evening.
