New tours from Christina Aguilera, Avril Lavigne confirmed for 2011.
10.02.2010
Pop fans should be in for a treat next year after Live Nation chairman Irving Azoff confirmed that 2011 will see brand new tours from Christina Aguilera and Avril Lavigne. Adding to the excitement is the inclusion of a number of classic rock acts who will also hit the road, such as Fleetwood Mac and Van Halen.
The news was broke when Azoff, who also doubles as Aguilera’s manager, spoke to USA Today about declines in touring revenue throughout 2010.
“Next year may improve, he said, as hitmakers who sat on the sidelines in 2010 plan major tours. He’s especially optimistic that the cast of the TV show Glee, Van Halen, Avril Lavigne, Christina Aguilera, and Fleetwood Mac will fill arenas and amphitheaters.”
No other details have been revealed, but I’m going to speculate and say that Aguilera’s tour will not only promote her failed fourth album Bionic (roughly 237k has been sold in the US to date), but also the soundtrack to her new musical-movie Burlesque, which will contain several, all-new Christina recordings. While Aggie’s Bionic tour was initially scrapped due to poor sales, the powerhouse singer has proven her selling potential in the past, as her 2006 Back to Basics world tour managed to gross an impressive $90 million.
As for Lavigne, she’ll be touring in support of her upcoming fourth album, which currently has no release date but is expected some time within the first half of next year. It’ll be Avril’s first tour since 2008′s successful The Best Damn Tour, which unfortunately, never had an official gross calculated.
Avril’s ticket selling potential is going to rest with the sales of her next album, and Christina is going to have to hope that both Burlesque and it’s accompanying soundtrack are big hits if she wants to play anywhere larger than theaters for the US leg.

I refuse to get my hopes up until a single comes out. After the (in my opinion) mess of BDT I will not like her again until she gives me another album in her signature style.
but as well maybe this is not true I remeber a year ago that we were expecting a tour by Avril on summer of this year and we don't even get an album sooooo first is what is first and then I could trust this.
, all the Music's sounded the same, it was terrible 
tired of waiting for her
