It’s a whopping triple play of international concerts next week with Avril Lavigne, Chris Carrabba of Dashboard Confessional and Evanescence all set to take the stage in our city. The best part about it is that it’s not even a music festival – they’re all here to play separate shows. This only happens once in a blue moon for KL, so to get you excited about the coming week, we’ve compiled our own dream set list for each act. Here are the top three...

Dashboard Confessional songs that will sweep us off our feet:

1. 'As Lovers Go'



It’s as easy as one-two-three to be swooned when you hear this song.

2. 'Vindicated'



That nice ‘Spiderman 2’ song that played in the end credits and made Dashboard famous. He has to sing this.

3. 'Hands Down'



Hands down this is the best song that you could always remember by Dashboard.

Livescape presents Dashboard Confessional Solo Acoustic Show, KL Live. Feb 22. See listing.

Avril Lavigne songs to make us prance around like we’re 15:

1. 'Sk8er Boi'



‘He was a boy, she was a girl – can I make it any more obvious?’ Watch this acoustic performance of teenage Avril and reminisce.

2. 'Complicated'



We might want to whip out our ties and put it over our t-shirts for this.

3. 'My Happy Ending'



That breakup song we used to sing and think, 'Oh, that's just how I'm feeling right now!'

Avril Lavigne Black Star Tour Live in Malaysia, Stadium Merdeka. Feb 22. See listing.

Evanescence songs to make us remember who they are:

1. 'Bring Me to Life'



Like, obviously.

2. 'My Immortal'



That slow song they had which sounded oh so sad.

3. 'Call Me When You’re Sober'



That decent song they had from their second album before we didn't hear from them again.
