The Pretenders frontman recently completed a UK Tour alongside the band promoting their latest album ‘Relentless’, which released in September this year. Hynde has been a prominent figure in Alt-Rock since the late 1970s, not only for her contributions as lead vocalist, guitarist and songwriter for Pretenders but for her contribution to mid-70s punk-rock band Johnny Moped and her presence on reggae-rock classic ‘I Got You Babe’ by UB40, which peaked at number 1 on the UK Singles Chart upon its release in 1985.

This year, Hynde pinpoints standout moments in culture and entertainment across 2024, reminiscing on concerts, films, TV, art and much more.

Most notably, in her ‘live show’ highlights she praises Taylor Swift and her show at London’s Wembley Stadium as part of her Eras Tour. The ‘I’ll Stand by You’ singer noted Swift’s gig as “beautiful and inspiring” filled with “timeless music”.

In the same section Hynde recalls Okean Elzy’s gig at The Forum London, notifying fans that she saw “Ukraine’s number one rock band in its full glory”.

The 73-year-old singer also admitted to seeing the “gorgeous thriller” Conclave (2024) “3 times already” and finding BBC’s Wolf Hall (2015-), inspired by Hillary Mantel’s book series of the same name, “seriously mind-blowing in every way”.

In her notable moment for a ‘show I’ve been involved in’, Hynde recalls her contribution to ‘Mark Lanegan 60’, a tribute to the late singer at London’s Roundhouse on December 5, on what would’ve been his 60^th birthday. At the event Hynde’s performance added to the lineup of numerous rock icons to celebrate Lanegan, including performances by Queens of the Stone Age’s Josh Homme and Depeche Mode’s Dave Gahan. Hynde performed sensational renditions ‘Kimiko’s Dream House’, ‘Halcyon Daze’ and ‘Relevator’, recalling the experience as a “heartfelt” celebration enhanced by a “superb band” and “glorious vocalists”.

As 2024 comes to an end and Chrissie Hynde reminisces on her most notable experiences of 2024, Hynde will continue to build on these experiences as part of the Pretenders & Chrissie Hynde Tour in South America next year.

They have just announced three acts set to be supporting the rock band. Amongst these, be ready to be warmed up by the rock legends from the 80’s, Pretenders. Alongside them, the grammy nominated band Larkin Poe from the US. And let’s not forget The Darkness band from the 2000’s rock scene.

The Pretenders performance will be the wrap up for their UK and Ireland tour starting this May and finishing on the 30th June, as mentioned before, at Hyde Park. The tour is named “Relentless” after their soon to be released album – Relentless. However, Chrissie Hynde is handling the situation in a very secretive manner and still hasn’t revealed any valuable information about the official drop.

Larkin Poe lurk close behind their, band support, peers. The Nashville band formed by the multi-instrumentalist sisters Rebecca Lovell and Megan Lovell. It seems like the duo will be mainly showcasing their best hits from their latest album release Blood Harmony. This being their sixth studio album.

Finally, the British rock band, The Darkness, will be playing as Guns N’ Roses support act and will be playing another live show in Norway where they will be supporting KISS on their End Of The Road world tour, on the 15th of July before the bands official tour in November where they will be visiting Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Belgium, France and the Netherlands.
