Pretenders<\/strong> frontwoman Chrissie Hynde<\/strong> has told\u00a0fans why she and her band prefer to play smaller venues rather than big arenas.<\/span><\/p>\n

The band recently played a club show at the Riverside Theater in Milwaukee, and she <\/span>posted on social media<\/strong><\/span><\/a> about the \u201cfun audience\u201d they had. She went on to explain why they stick to clubs and theaters,\u00a0noting it’s a\u00a0question she often gets asked\u00a0by fans.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe simple answer is: Clubs and theatres are better venues for the audience and for the band,\u201d she shared. \u201cPersonally, I have never stayed for a three hour show, and I like to see the band on stage rather than on screens if I\u2019m in the audience.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

She adds, \u201cAnd if I\u2019m on stage, I like to see every audience member right up to the back of the balcony. So yes, we could be playing bigger places, making more money, and in some people\u2019s eyes, garnering more prestige\u2026\u2026 but we really don\u2019t give a s*** about that stuff.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n

Pretenders have played bigger venues when opening for artists like Stevie Nicks<\/strong>, Guns N\u2019 Roses<\/strong>\u00a0and currently Foo Fighters<\/strong>, which\u00a0Chrissie\u00a0says she loves, “but for our own shows we like to keep it reined in.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Pretenders’ next\u00a0show is Wednesday in\u00a0Tulsa, Oklahoma. A complete list of dates can be found at <\/span>thepretenders.com<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
