After seven year away from the road, punky pop star Avril Lavigne will be touring this summer. Today (March 17), the "Let Me Go" singer announced a string of dates in South America and Mexico before taking on the US with Backstreet Boys.
According to a press release, though Lavigne will be joining BSB on the new leg of its In A World Like This Tour for its American tour dates, while the boy band is in her home country of Canada, Lavigne will tackle her own headlining dates in Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Mexico.
"I'm excited to stay on the road and cannot wait to see all my fans across the Americas. I had such a great time with the Backstreet Boys during last fall's radio shows, it seemed like a natural fit for me to join them on the road in the US," she said in a statement.
Lavigne's opening dates for Backstreet Boys and her own South American tour dates are in support of her latest, self-titled album, which dropped in November of last year.
