Chrissie Hynde released her first-ever solo album, Stockholm, this summer, and now she's taking that music on the road.
The former Pretenders singer got some help from Neil Young and a few other featured artists on her June release, which garnered mostly positive reviews.
"I wanted to make a power pop album you could dance to - Abba meets John Lennon," she told The Telegraph. "I think life is serious, and you should take it seriously, but in rock 'n' roll either have a laugh or don't come to the party ... so much of rock 'n' roll has become what I would call Glory Rock, with family values. It's the irreverence in rock that was always the turn on".
Hynde supported Blondie at the London iTunes Festival in late July, a gig that served as a warmup of sorts for her upcoming solo tour. Check out the dates below:
