If you missed out on nabbing tickets for the Blondie and Pretenders tour (the first two Sydney shows sold out in a matter of days) we’ve got good news: an extra Sydney show has been added to the bill.

I’m sure there’s no need to delve into how epic this collaboration is:  this is the greatest BOGOF of all time. For the price of one, you get two of the coolest bands of the ‘70s and ‘80s, two style icons and double the dose of new wave classics. Decades might have passed since Blondie and Pretenders topped the charts, but both bands’ timeless appeal resonates with younger fans generation after generation. Meanwhile, Debbie Harry's ever-faithful to the peroxide bottle, while Chrissie Hynde continues to rock out in her signature boy’s tshirts and skinny jeans. As for the music – I can only vouch for Blondie who played a festival in the northern part of the world a couple of years back and the (younger) crowd was blown away. This is one legend that will never be 'past it'.

Touring together for the first time ever, both bands will team up to play across Australia before heading to New Zealand. They play the Enmore Theatre for their third and final show on December 9.
