Avril Lavigne is going to embark on a tour to support 'The Best Damn Thing', her latest album that was nominated at MTV Europe Music Awards this year. Her North American tour will begin March 5 in Victoria B. C.

"I'm excited to go out and play live and perform," Lavigne said during a small concert at West Hollywood's Whisky A-Go-Go. "I have the most fun when I am performing for the fans. I think that energy comes through in my live show."

The Live Nation-produced tour will also feature Boys Like Girls as Avril's supporting act and stop at some dates in her hometown Canada. More dates will be announced in the coming weeks. Tickets can be purchased starting from Saturday, November 17 through Ticketmaster or Live Nation.
