About

The Pretenders in Concert

The Pretenders cross the bridge between punk, new wave and pop music like no other band, with genre-defining songs like "I'll Stand By You," "Back On The Chain Gang" and "Don't Get Me Wrong." The band has sold over 25 million albums and founder & leader Chrissie Hynde is one of contemporary music's greatest songwriters. Chrissie's 2015 memoir Reckless: My Life As a Pretender, was hailed by the New York Times upon its release as "honest and distinctive... a love letter to rock and roll." After delivering 2016's unflinchingly head-strong Alone album (produced by the Black Keys' Dan Auerbach), the Pretenders continue to tour worldwide.

The Pretenders on Tour

The Pretenders are set for an extensive North American tour in 2020 with Journey to feature all new production and hits from start to finish in the 60+ date tour. Fans can expect to hear iconic classics from The Pretenders and Journey.

    Electric Set

    Short of show being held indoors instead of being on Summer Stage. The band was electric. Chrissie Hynde is amazing as ever.

    Pretenders still ROCK!

    by Mr. Mike on 8/20/23

    I've seen The Pretenders since their first tour and each variation of the band has rocked because the songs are so great for great players to rock out to. Chrissy was in great form as was the band as they teared through fairly newer material as well as a few great oldies including The Adultress. The small club setting made for an up close, intimate performance. Energy poured from the stage as they gave it all they had, leaving the appreciative audience wanting more. Missed Martin Chambers, but his replacement was excellent. All in all a great experience.

    Great pure rock and roll!

    by Joe J on 8/19/23

    The Pretenders always have great guitar and this time was no different. Chrysalis was in great voice and The Pretenders rocked out like no other! Would have liked a few more earlier tunes as when they did it was nice to know every beat but as they rocked so much it was still an amazing show. Pure rock and roll! Also great intimate venue to see them in!

    Fabulous Pretenders

    by screamer on 8/19/23

    Chrissie Hynde and her very tight band crushed it at the Bowery Ballroom Wednesday night. The intimate venue was a big plus. Love going to concerts there and it’s always a treat to see Chrissie. I caught her At Glastonbury in June.

    Sucked

    by F. O. on 8/17/23

    What I thought would be a great concert turned out to be the worst time. I stood near the bar with a packed house for the first hour. She didn’t even play one of the old hits . I left an hour into the show. Disgusted, she was promoting her latest songs that I thought totally sucked. Sorry Chrissie it’s time to move on.

    Pretenders - Ames IA

    by MusicJunki on 7/31/18Stephens Auditorium - Ames

    She's a rocker till her dying breath!! Heads up, it's not the original band except for Chrissie and the drummer, but they made every tune sound great, I really like the lead guitarists chunky riffs! I thoroughly enjoyed the show, as well as most things in life, because my expectations are always at the right level. Played all their classic hits, and a few off the new album that easily grabbed my interest and appreciation, youtube "Let's Get Lost," then 3 encores, wrapping it up with none other than "Brass in Pocket." Unfortunately, you can't take pics or vids, I tried to sneak a quick pick and the isle attendants pounced on me lol.

    Pretenders Concerte - Ames Iowa

    by Brewer13 on 7/30/18Stephens Auditorium - Ames

    Excellent show put on by the Pretenders !! Chrissie was in great form and 2 encores really brought the house to its feet. We drove over 4 hours to see them and it was well worth it. Played all their hits and some new ones as well. Brass in Pocket was great to hear again especially live. I'm sure it gets old for them performing it but they all did a fantastic job. We saw Imagine Dragons earlier this year because my wife is a big fan and she thought the Pretenders concert was better !!

    Great show!

    by rusfk on 7/24/18Stephens Auditorium - Ames

    The show was fantastic-of course. It's awkward that there is no center aisle. We had great seats but had to climb over like 30 people.

    Pretenders were amazing!!

    by Jimmythegreek55 on 7/23/18Stephens Auditorium - Ames

    I have been to 12 concerts in my lifetime, Chrissie Hynde and band put on one. “Beeping” show!! She is still sexy and talented!! Took my 19 year old son who was floored that ole Dad like to rock and roll. If get chance go see them on next tour, I think I caught the second to the last tour date. Been fan since first album 1980. So many big hits, they mixed the old with the new!! Fans didn’t want to leave!!! Encore after encore.

    Pretenders at Stephens

    by Webpenguin on 7/23/18Stephens Auditorium - Ames

    The Pretenders is a class act. Great show with outstanding talent all around. As far as the venue, I was in balcony 1 row 1 and the sound was a bit muffled, including the lyrics. I'm not sure why. I would go see this group anywhere, anytime. Amazing vocals! The drummer is ridiculously good. The lead guitar player had me mesmerized.

    The Pretenders were great!!!

    by PaulU73 on 7/23/18Stifel Theatre - St. Louis

    The Pretenders were wonderful. Had a great time - Chryssie Hynde has definitely not lost a step. The band was very good. Shout out to the drummer (Chambers) and guitarist (Walbourne). The guitarist Walbourne was quite the stand-out. He opened the show with his band The Rails. Nice encores from The Pretenders. The Peabody Opera House (now called Stifel) is probably one of the best venues in the city of St Louis. Clean and intimate. Courteous staff. Very nice. Plus St Louis audiences are the best.

    What a wonderful surprise she was l thoroughly enjoyed watching her perform. This was a simple stage and performance by Chrissie and her band mates , she didn’t need a fancy stage like some of the worlds bigger bands . Thank you for the memories Chrissie Hynde
