The Pretenders have recently announced a US headline tour which is set to begin on August 16th at New York City’s Bowery Ballroom. Throughout the nine-date trek, the English-American rock band will perform in unique and intimate venues all across the country.
The American tour comes ahead of the Pretenders’ eagerly awaited studio album Relentless which will drop on September 15th. Produced by multiple Grammy Award-nominee David Wrench (Courtney Barnett, David Byrne), Relentless marks the second consecutive full-length songwriting collaboration by group founder Chrissie Hynde and Pretenders’ guitarist James Walbourne. The album includes the recently released singles “Let The Sun Come In“ and “I Think About You Daily.”
The live performances will give the Pretenders an incredible opportunity to introduce their new music directly to the fans. Throughout this run, the band will join Guns N’ Roses as a special guest on their own upcoming North American stadium tour for a total of seven performances making the Pretenders’ original nine-date tour stretch to seventeen. Tickets for their headline dates are available on July 21st!
