Worst Gig Ever!

The worst gig I have ever been to is Avril Lavigne "The Best Damn Tour" in May 2008.

I loved "The Best Damn Thing" album to the point I had overplayed it waiting for the night of the gig. It would be my first time seeing Avril live and I had got the tickets for my 16th birthday. I again had no idea who the support act was going to be and when I got there there was younger girls with posters reading "I <3 J-Bros". I did not even know who these "J-Bros" were until they came on stage I realised it was the Jonas Brothers from Disney Channel.

HOW could they achieve such status as to tour with a pop princess? So after enduring what felt like a lifetime of Jonas Brothers and the adoring screaming little girls it was finally time for Avril.

The best thing about the whole night was the outfits and glittery microphone. Everything else was average including her singing live.

I was so disappointed. And being old enough to go without an adult, I was getting increasingly angry at pushy mums trying to get their daughters to the front. Avril did not engage much with audience at all (something I had come to expect especially after attending Angels & Airwaves only one month before). The set was short and at the end she did not even come on for an encore (this is the only gig I have been to where this is the case).
Safe to say after that I just enjoyed album versions of her music in the comfort of my own home!
