From the Oct. 31 announcement: Pretenders cross the bridge between punk, new wave and pop music like no other band. The band has sold over 25 million albums and founder and leader Chrissie Hynde is one of contemporary music’s greatest songwriters. Her 2015 memoir, Reckless: My Life As a Pretender, was hailed by the New York Times upon its release as “honest and distinctive… a love letter to rock and roll.”
Journey is one of the most popular American rock bands of all time, creating some of the best-known songs in modern music. Since the group’s formation in 1973, the band has earned 19 top 40 singles and 25 Gold and Platinum albums and has sold nearly 100 million albums globally. Their Greatest Hits album is certified 15x Platinum. The band’s 2018’s co-headlining tour with Def Leppard was the band’s most successful tour to date, landing them in the Top 10 year-end touring chart with more than one million tickets sold. In 2017, Journey was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
