The Pretenders Ask Diehard Fans Who Repeatedly Stand In Front Row To Give Local Fans A Chance

While the Pretenders are currently touring the UK, the band has warned fans who repeatedly stand in the front row for “multiple nights” that they could possibly be asked to move in order to make room for “local faces.” Singer Chrissie Hynde explained her frustration in an Instagram post on Wednesday (October 16), writing that while it has been a “real pleasure” for the band to play in front of “fantastic audiences,” the “whole point” of touring for the band is “playing to a different audience every night.” Hynde continued, “We look forward to seeing local faces. This is what makes it new for us every night. We appreciate those of you who follow us and buy tickets for multiple nights, so please don’t be offended if we request you to move out of the front row. All we are asking is that you give the local fans a chance.” The Pretenders’ UK tour continues through November 1. (Consequence of Sound)
