The Pretenders Enforce Front Row Rule

The Pretenders have announced a new policy for their concerts, stating that fans who attend multiple shows may be relocated from the front row to give local fans a chance to experience the band up close. Lead vocalist Chrissie Hynde emphasized that the essence of touring is performing for a different audience each night, and she expressed appreciation for dedicated fans while requesting their understanding. This decision has sparked mixed reactions, with some fans supporting the move while others feel slighted, perceiving it as ungratefulness towards loyal supporters. Hynde also voiced her frustrations regarding autograph requests, particularly from individuals she describes as entitled. The band is currently wrapping up their UK tour, which began in the U.S. earlier this year and included performances with Foo Fighters. Their tour continues through November 1st, with the hope of creating a fresh experience for each audience.
