On the 26th September 2011 the Canadian rock star came to Manchester in one of her preliminary concerts of her black star tour. The gig took place in the 02 Manchester Apollo with doors opening at 6:30pm, slightly earlier for 02 priority. The whole bottom of the venue was specifically for those who had purchased a standing ticket. Avril’s support act played for around 40 minutes and they where a recently signed band called ‘Lawson’. Unfortunately before Avril had even managed to get on stage the temperature of the venue was just too much for a selected few who fainted and had to be whisked away out of the crowd by venue security.
When Avril finally entered the stage the people went wild as she entered the stage holding just a green glowing star and the stage filled with smoke that then wandered through the standing rows. She sand around 17-20 songs including her hits; Complicated,Sk8er boi and her new single Smile. She also sang I’m with you which was a huge hit with the crowd as the whole Apollo sang along acoustically while Avril admired their singing. Aswell as singing her own songs she did a cover of Coldplay’s ‘Fix you’. It started off beautifully until she forgot the words in the middle of the song and then began laughing along with the crowd before returning to the song very professionally.
