BURGETTSTOWN — Avril Lavigne plus the words “greatest hits tour” equaled a jam-packed Pavilion at Star Lake on Thursday.
Canada’s pop-punk princess showcased hits, including set-starter “Girlfriend” with its leadoff line “Hey, hey, you, you, I don’t like your girlfriend,” setting a tone for breezy, sing-along fun.
The sound could have been better — it was over-amplified and muffled for much of Lavigne’s banter — but the hooks rang true, as on fan favorites “Complicated” and “My Happy Ending” featured in the first-third of the performance.
Lavigne charmed fans with her enthusiasm, sincerity and spunkiness. She pantomimed a punch with a P-popping vocal sound to punctuate one of the more rousing “Complicated” moments.
“Here’s to Never Growing Up” tracked philosophically with the decisively girls-just-want-to-have-fun crowd.
For “Keep Holding On,” Lavigne grabbed an electric guitar, joining forces with her band’s two six-stringers.
Having earlier sung a faithful cover of The Chicks’ “Wide Open Spaces,” a seated Lavigne started out acoustically on “Breakaway,” a song she wrote as a 16-year-old that became a smash hit for Kelly Clarkson.
Thanking fans for their decades of support, Lavigne noted this was a greatest hits tour, but she couldn’t resist gathering with opening act Simple Plan before hitting the road months ago to record a new, nostalgia-driven song, “Young & Dumb.” Simple Plan singer Pierre Bouvier came out on stage so they could perform it live. A half-dozen, randomly chosen, ardent young fans were brought onto the stage for visual accompaniment. Lavigne handed each of those fans an autographed skateboard while Pierre tossed bundled up concert T-shirts into the crowd.
From those joyful and sweet moments, Lavigne somehow segued into “Bite Me.”
Back to her skateboard roots she went for “Sk8er Boi,” another jubilant singalong that got spectators dancing.
By that point, a heavy rain was falling, but the mood was never dampened for fans who got to witness the 40-year Lavigne in maybe her biggest ever western Pennsylvania headlining visit.
Avril Lavigne at The Pavilion at Star Lake.
Simple Plan set the stage well for her, with a blissful, boisterous pop-punk set. Bouvier introduced “I’m Just a Kid” as a song written 23 years ago, acknowledging that would make some fans shout “(heck) yeah!” and make others put their head in their hands and groan “oh (heck) no.” Wearing a T-shirt that said “I’m Just a Kid” with the “kid” crossed out and replaced by the word “adult,” Bouvier engagingly commanded the stage, taking a turn behind the drum kit as drummer Chuck Comeau ran through the crowd slapping high-fives.
The Montreal mirth-makers maintained an entertaining, upbeat vibe.

Annette Zoiti (née Montini), 88, of Hopewell Township, passed away surrounded by her loved ones on June 25th, 2025, at Franciscan Manor in Patterson Township.
She was born in Aliquippa on July 29th, 1936, a daughter of the late Sylvester “Silver” and Adeline “Lena” Montini. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Joseph Zoiti, her parents-in-law, Antonio and Carmela Zoiti, her brother, Anthony Montini, her brother and sister-in-law, Louis and Clara Montini, her sister, Shirley Diecks, her sister-in-law and brother-in-law, Nancy and Vince Bozza, her sisters-in-law: Helen Zoiti, Rosie Lulevitch, Frances Dionisio, and Clara Montini; as well as her nephews, Jackie Bozza and Robert Montini and her life-long friend Carol Unis.
She is survived by her son, Anthony (Crystal) Zoiti, her daughter, Sylvia (Tony) Guy, her four grandchildren: Cody Zoiti, Sean Zoiti, Logan Zoiti, and Marissa (Zack) Hayward; as well as her four great-grandchildren: Eli Zoiti, Cooper Hayward, Noah Hayward and Adeline Hayward, her brother, Michael Montini, her brother-in-law, Ronald “Lefty” Dionisio; and many loving nieces and nephews.
Annette was a proud graduate of Aliquippa High School with the Class of 1954. She was the former general manager of The Airport Hotel located at the old Pittsburgh International Airport. Upon “retiring”, she spent over 25 years working at Kaufman’s, then later Macy’s as a sales associate at the Beaver Valley Mall. What started as a retirement job quickly became one of her greatest joys. Annette loved getting to know her customers and took pride in making each person feel welcome and valued.
On November 7th, 1959, Annette married the love of her life, the late Joseph “Weiners” Zoiti. They were blessed with 2 children and built their family on the values of faith and love.
Annette was gifted with the natural ability of being a caretaker. Lovingly referred to by her family as “Dr. Montini”, she had a way of making people feel special, loved and at ease. Taking care of others brought her genuine joy, and she did so with grace and kindness. She was a member of Our Lady of Fatima Church in Aliquippa, part of Mary, Queen of Saints Parish.
In her free time, Annette enjoyed going to “the track” to play the slots, she was always chasing her big win.
Friends will be received on Monday, June 30th from 1-4 p.m. and 6-8 p.m. in the GABAUER-TODD FUNERAL HOME & CREMATION SERVICES- 340 Third Street, Beaver, who was in charge of her arrangements. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Tuesday, July 1st at 10 a.m. at St. Titus Church, 952 Franklin Avenue, Aliquippa. The family is requesting that everyone meet directly at the church. Father Howard Campbell will officiate.
The family wishes to thank Dr. Timothy Jackson for the many years of devoted compassion and care for Annette, and the staff at Franciscan Manor for the love and care during her time spent there.
