In September 2012, The Pretenders graced the stage at the KITEC Star Hall in Kowloon for a lively performance that captured the essence of the band’s enduring charm. This concert came just after the release of their album 'Breaking Up the Girl' in 2011, which reflected their continued evolution in sound, blending rock with pop melodies. During this period, frontwoman Chrissie Hynde was celebrated not just for her iconic voice but also for her unapologetic songwriting, marking her as a true icon of rock.
