The Pretenders Announce Summer 2024 U.S. Tour Dates

The Pretenders have announced plans for a US summer headline tour, getting underway July 13 at Red Bank, NJ’s historic Count Basie Center for the Arts, and then continuing into mid-August. The upcoming live run will further be highlighted by an array of US stadium dates as special guests Foo Fighters will appear alongside The Pretenders.

The Pretenders’ epic live schedule follows last year’s release of the legendary band’s acclaimed new studio album, Relentless. The album marks the second consecutive full-length songwriting collaboration between founder Chrissie Hynde and guitarist James Walbourne following 2020’s Hate For Sale. The album includes tracks such as “Losing My Sense of Taste”, “A Love”, “Let The Sun Come In”, and “I Think About You Daily”, the latter featuring composer Jonny Greenwood (Radiohead, The Smile) who provides the string arrangement and conducted the 12 ensemble for the recording.

In an interview from Rolling Stone, Hynde shared her thoughts on the album. “It starts as a youthful pursuit and eventually, it makes you wonder, why I am doing this? It’s the life of the artist. You never retire. You become relentless.”

Tickets are available to purchase now.
