Tickets go on sale to the general public beginning Nov. 17, and fans can gain access to pre-sale tickets by joining Lavigne's fan club at her website.

"I can't wait to get back out on the road!" Lavigne said in a statement. "I have the most fun when I am performing for the fans. I think that energy comes through in my live show."

The Canadian-born singer/songwriter gave an acoustic concert yesterday (11/6) at West Hollywood, CA's Whisky A Go-Go during a press conference to announce the tour.

Her remaining engagements for 2007 include the United Against AIDS Concert in Montreal this month as well as performances on the Nov. 18 American Music Awards and the Nov. 20 episode of ABC-TV's "Dancing with the Stars." A handful of US concerts are also on the books next month, including three radio-sponsored holiday festivals.

Lavigne is supporting her latest platinum-selling set, "Best Damn Thing," which topped the US album chart when it surfaced in April. The lead single, "Girlfriend," also shot to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. The album and song recently scored Lavigne two wins each at the World Music Awards and the MTV Europe Music Awards.

"Best Damn Thing" follows 2004's triple-platinum-selling "Under My Skin," which spawned the hits ""Don't Tell Me" and "My Happy Ending."

Lavigne burst onto the music scene five years ago, at age 17, with hit singles "Sk8r Boi" and "Complicated." Her debut album, "Let Go," snagged eight Grammy nominations and four Juno Awards (the Canadian equivalent of the Grammys). She has since sold close to 30 million albums worldwide, according to a press release.

Last year, Lavigne married Sum 41's Deryck Whibley and branched out into acting, appearing in Richard Linklater's "Fast Food Nation" and lending her voice to the Dreamworks animated film "Over the Hedge."
