Arctic Monkeys

[Andre91]

I would love for Riot Van to get an outing...

[PDAD]

Hmm. I could give a setlist where at least ten of them are proper smashers that would really get the crowd going. However, the thing for me is whether they should do that or not. They're a very good live act anyway, and they've progressed massively since '07. I'd rather they showed how much they've progressed as an act.

It's a conflict between whether they want to say:

"We are the same band from 07, we are just back to give the crowd what they want"

or

"We've grown up and progressed since then".

Ironically enough, they were roundly criticised for not having enough material back in 07/Alex not having personality,but now they do have both, there seems to be calls for them to focus on the first record.

They brought back When The Sun Goes Down last night, but I can't work out what they dropped.

They also changed their last songs to:

R U Mine

Encore

That's Where You're Wrong

They also soundchecked two new songs.

Mixing it up a bit then.

Dropped She's Thunderstorms by the looks of things.

I'm seriously f*cking excited for this set. Think about it all day every day. I guess I should hashtag fanboy problems.

The queens of the Stone Age album is fantastic and i think it's pretty likely we will get an arctics guest spot from josh Homme ( qotsa at download weekend before and him and turner being good pals ) but what could they sing ?

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

I don't think a Homme appearance is in any way likely, although I'd like it. He's guested with them before and he features on the recorded version of Dance Little Liar and has played on that and Jewellers Hands live I think, so maybe either of them two. However, its doubtful either of them will make it into the setlist unfortunately.

I think realistic guests we are looking at would be Miles Kane, Dizzee Rascal, Nick Cave or Richard Hawley. As long as Miles Kane is as far away as possible im happy I'm not counting Jon Ashton as a guest as he is bound to.

Was really excited about seeing the whole of Arctic Monkeys but with the day splits think im gonna go Bastille/Courteeners/end of Arctic Monkeys, so hope they play R U Mine later in the set.

[monkey1989]

Ewww don't waste the opportunity on Bastille they will play again

[efcfanwirral]

I agree on Bastille, saw them supporting muse and they were terrible. Worst song was the one I know!

Courteeners though....I am very gutted about the clash with arctics. I've seen them loads of times and was looking forward to seeing them on the peel stage, but arctic monkeys will be a pretty special one if they're making up for last time. Plus I'm seeing courteeners 2 mins from my flat in Castlefield a week later!

Keep reading on here that their 2007 Glastonbury gig was pretty bad, have to disagree with that! Was my first glasto and thought they were amazing, loads of energy, wicked set list with a few suprises (dizze and diamonds are forever), can't wait to see them this year

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

Pretty interesting setlist from their Free Press gig on the 1st.

Do I Wanna Know?

Brianstorm

Dancing Shoes

Don't Sit Down

Brick By Brick

Fake Tales

Evil Twin

Hellcat Spangled

Crying Lightning

Fluorescent

Suck It And See

I Bet You Look Good

R U Mine?

[monkey1989]

To be honest there are not many arctic monkeys songs I dislike

[monkey1989]

I hope they put a studio version of "Do I wanna know?" online soon as I have only heard bad quality video footage of it

Arctics are one of my favourite bands, but not feeling the lastest setlists Might head to Chic instead

[EighteenSixty7]

I can't see "Do I Wanna Know?" being a single. Sounds very much like an intro track.

ive got a feeling there gunna play a setlist heavily drawing from their 1st and 2nd albums. they know they need to smash it, and they know that their first 2 albums are the more popular. expect them to drag out mardy bum, when the sun goes down, teddy picker etc i know these havent been in recent setlists but i reckon they will be pulled out.
