Known for their eclectic mix of rock, new wave and punk and led by the iconic Chrissie Hynde, The Pretenders will embark on a UK headline tour in 2024 in celebration of their latest album, Relentless.

The raw power of The Pretenders’ current live show has gripped audiences since the band began debuting new music at gigs early this year. Performing at London’s 600 capacity Lafayette for ‘Independent Venue Week’ in February, The Guardian found The Pretenders “as sharp as ever, with new songs stealing the limelight from classic hits”.

The band launched the Relentless album tour cycle by headlining Brighton’s The Great Escape Festival, kicking off a UK club tour treating fans to unreleased new songs and scatterings of surprise hits, tipped as “on such brilliant form” by The Independent.
