Pretenders

In mid-2024, The Pretenders showcased their rich history and undeniable energy during the live performance at the Bilbao Music Legends Festival. Prior to this electric concert, they had released their album 'Hate for Sale' in July 2020, which marked their first studio album in nearly a decade. This album was significant, offering a return to their raw rock roots and receiving positive acclaim for its catchy hooks and authentic sound. The band's ability to blend heartfelt lyrics with edgy instrumentation has always set them apart, and performances like the one in Bilbao highlight that seamlessly. It's also interesting to note that the band's frontwoman, Chrissie Hynde, has long been a powerful voice in rock, not just for her music but for her activism as well. This dynamic presence undoubtedly energizes their live shows, making each one a special event.
