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.
Great Show , Chrissy has a great new band & although they had to restart a couple tunes after being on the wrong page , they sounded incredible .Her voice is still unique & Beautiful !
Better than ever!!! Chrissie Hynde is just an amazing singer & player! Good to see her on her hometown of Akron OH!
The sound was out of sight. drums, guitars, etc, spot on and beautiful. Chrissie has not lost a beat on her distinctive voice.
A great set, sound, and performance- loved it all...
Never miss them in Akron, they love playing at home for family and friends. Fantastic show, great venue.
First of all you get to see one of the best rock drummers in Martin Chambers WOW still punching out the beat of Chrissie's guitar licks. These guys are on their game. Band was as tight as I have ever heard them. You just want to give Chrissie a big hug, especially once you find out see Hates Herself. Great show! Hope they return to the Raleigh area.
This is a professional act! Chrissy was flawless and sounded just like she did many years ago. The band was also great and was a faithful reproduction. They played just the right mixture of new stuff and old stuff. In fact I think they hit all the old favorites. DPAC in Durham NC is a great venue as well. Great show!
Christie Hynde and The Pretenders took the stage at DPAC and delivered the real thing. At 65 she has not lost an iota of her edge.
Besides the fact that i love her lyrics and grew up following the pretenders-her voice is just beautiful-and has not aged a bit. i saw the Pretenders when they toured the first or second album and she sounds even better. I am so glad I went. The new stuff was great too!
I didn't realize until seeing the Pretenders live, how great Chrissie Hynde's voice is. It didn't matter whether I was familiar or not with some of the songs she sang. She just made me want to hear more. The band was great! I highly recommend seeing them. They put on a really good show!
Chrissie Hynde's voice is still going strong; hard to believe she is 65 years old. Good to see the remaining original Pretender, Martin Chambers, still on percussion. The show was a great mix of classic well recognized Pretenders dating back to the first 1980 release and new material from Alone. See them if you have the chance
Chrissie Hynde has complete command of the stage and her band, which only Martin Chambers, the drummer, is the only other original member, and put on a show that really rocked! The band was tight and powerful, and Chrissie's voice has lost nothing over the years. A really standout show.
Chryssie's cordless mike was not high enough for us to hear her singing over the music. When she used the good old fashion mike on a cord it was great, but unfortunately she did not use that one enough. What a shame, that should be a given that the sound is mixed well
It doesn't take long at a Chrissy Hynde concert to realize she's still a rocking rebel with a cause. She still looks and sings great and her band was crackerjack, especially the lead guitarist, a young guy who had total command over his instrument and moves. She performed her hits flawlessly and in between songs, she gave some political insight, haha.
As a Pretenders fan I was excited to see the show - Chrissie and the boys did not disappoint Her vocal range was impressive as was her stage presence. Martin killed it on percussion! The smaller venue was perfect - Chrissie felt the energy from this intimate setting and gave her fans a night to remember! If you want to see a real rock band with punk influence do not miss the Pretenders!
Chrissie and 4 great guitars! What's not to like? Great drummer as well (original Pretender)
Time has done nothing to diminish the quality of a Pretenders show. Chissie's voice is hypnotic on the slow ones and rockin' on the fast ones. She delivers with sass and humor. The band is as tight and as talented as anybody out there.
Great to have the classic sound and fabulous singer/songwriter come to my little home town. The drummer is a beast and the show was fun. She did not play long enough and there were hits she did not play, but it was a Sunday night. The band was tight and practiced but we would have stayed another hour.
I have seen The Pretenders twice before and each concert was excellent. Chrissy's voice is still amazing: deep, sultry, strong. The band was tight, the energy was high, the venue was nice and had great acoustics. Ticket prices were very reasonable, Parking was easy and cheap. Excellent concert in every way, had a wonderful time!!!!
We saw them open for Stevie Nicks at BBT in Sunrise, fl. I've been a big fan since around 1979-80 and it is a great thing when in one night you get to see two great acts back to back. Chrissie still sounds great and still rips it up on the Telecaster! We really enjoyed the show and would certainly go again if the opportunity arose.
