World music star in Pula Arena: Avril Lavigne is holding a concert in Croatia

Avril Lavigne, the queen of the pop-punk genre, one of the most influential female voices of her generation, is performing in Croatia for the first time on June 17, 2024, in the Pula Arena.

Over the past 20 years, Avril Lavigne has made history, broken records and consistently carved her own path as an uncompromising force in music.

She comes to Croatia on the waves of the success of her latest studio album, Love Sux, with which she returned to her early punk roots and opened another, perhaps the bravest chapter of her rich career.

In addition to selling 40 million albums worldwide, she recorded eight Grammy Award nominations in categories such as “Best New Artist” and “Song of the Year” and won eight Juno Awards, as well as one MTV Music Awards and one BRIT Music Awards each. She earned a Top 10 spot on Billboard’s “Best of the 2000s” chart and holds the Guinness World Record for “youngest solo artist to top the UK charts”, while “Girlfriend” became the first music video to reach 100 million views on YouTube.

This Canadian entered the world of music at the age of 16, when she signed her first contract with a publishing house, and at the age of 17 she released her debut album Let Go (2002), which with 16 million copies sold became the best-selling Canadian album and the eighth best-selling 21 . century. The album gave birth to legendary hits like “Complicated”, “Sk8er Boi” and “I’m With You” which ravaged the world charts, broke records and brought Avril numerous nominations.
