She may not quite be “The Best Damn Thing,” as the title of her 2007 CD boasts, but punky pop princess AVRIL LAVIGNE can be fun—in a catchy, 23-going-on-16 kind of way. Whether you’re a fan of punchy manifestos like “Girlfriend,” the Alanis Morissette-isms of “Complicated” or mushy power ballads like “Keep Holding On,” her Friday night concert at Philips Arena (April 18) has what you’re looking for—and lots of cute pop-rock snarls, to boot. 7 p.m.
