Arctic Monkeys

[monkey1989]

Helders said on the radio earlier that they're going to "have fun" with their setlist.

Not that this means anything at all, I just wanted an excuse to bring this thread up again.

[IanM]

Just watching their set from Glasto 2007. Goosebumps I tell thee! Can't wait for the Friday night slot to come along!!

[Sketchead]

New song is getting silly now, last thing I listened to before bed, and I've already listened to it four times this morning.

Bring it on!

[NiallP10]

Think they'll get away with opening with the new one, as they look set to play Brianstorm straight after, and it's what I call a 'clap-along song', no one knows the friggin' words but they'll clap goddamnit!

[Sketchead]

Didn't think i'd ever hear Brianstorm described as a clap along song. Unless your talking about Do i Wanna Know?

[NiallP10]

He's on about the new one

[SonOfTroyMcClure]

Starting on that new song would be a disaster at Glastonbury. No lessons learnt from Leeds/Reading '09.

Chances of A Certain Romance?

[olive123]

I made a spotify playlist of the set played in Denmark, including the new song. Have to say it seems to work perfectly. I find myself not really liking the songs from the original album now, for me they have matured perfectly with my musical tastes, maybe because I am the same age but I think they sound better now than ever.

[NiallP10]

the problem with Reading 09 was that they played 7 new songs and a b-side. If they opened with Do I Wanna Know? (which has been largely well-received so far) I don't think there'd be an issue.

On a personal note: ditch 505 and add Mad Sounds. But not to close the set.

[SonOfTroyMcClure]

Wouldn't ditch 505 entirely if i was them, just wouldn't give it the task of finishing their set. Kinda suited the moodier and darker humbug tour but should be used more sparingly in that role these days. I'm unrealistically hoping they drop Do me a Favour, think that's gone well past its sell by date, in a live sense anyway, Secret Door would be a far better option to lower the tempo in my opinion.

After a few more listens i'm starting to gel to the idea of them opening with the new track, as long as a few big hitters are following it.

[olive123]

also there will be a cover surely - going on previous form at festivals - Red Right Hand, Diamonds are Forever, Baby I'm Yours etc.

[Messy]

Someone suggested that they might do Come Together like they did at the Olympics last year. Would be good.

Reckon A Certain Romance is a shoe in. Haven't been playing it but you'd think they'll give it an outing.

I'd love them to do their cover of The Strokes' 'Take it or leave it'.

[majormajormajor]

i reckon they'll do a certain romance. as the closer. 505 doesn't work at big festivals. they should end on a high.

would love to hear:

my propeller

that's where you're wrong

if you were there, beware

a certain romance

library pictures

do me a favour

all my own stunts

not holding out much hope for the majority of them, though.

wtf are they playing 'old yellow bricks' for?

505 with Miles Kane is pretty much nailed on.

"I wish our lass were this dirty

That'd be my dream scenario, never going to happen though.

Made about 6 edits and still can't embed it, I give up.
