The news comes after the band were forced to postpone their live dates due to Chrissie Hynde's knee injury.

The Pretenders have added new dates to their 2024 UK tour.

Chrissie Hynde and co previously rescheduled their UK tour dates due to the rocker suffering from a knee injury and added new shows to their calendar for autumn 2024.

Tickets for the new dates go on sale this Friday 26th July at 10am and will be available here.

Previously announcing the postponement of their UK tour due to her injury, the Brass in Pocket icon said: "We're champing at the bit to get back on the road, but looks like we’re gonna have to hold tight for a while. I have a knee injury which will have to be dealt with first. I was hoping I could limp through the next 6 weeks, but it’s just getting worse."
