Arctic Monkeys delight hardcore fans by adding surprise to setlist

Arctic Monkeys delighted their hardcore fans by adding a surprise to their set list as they made their much anticipated return to the big stage.

The Sheffield band performed in Bristol on Monday night, marking the start of their UK stadium tour.

And it was a special night for their fans as they performed their 2006 hit Mardy Bum for the first time in a decade.

Busy promoting their latest album, The Car, the band will be performing in Coventry on Wednesday night, before heading to Manchester for two gigs.

They will also perform in Norwich, Sheffield, Swansea, Southampton, London and Dublin before finishing their tour in Glasgow on June 25.

LadBible reported that the band performed 21 songs in Bristol and most of those were fan favourites, with only three from the new album.

They wrote that they also treated fans to My Propeller’s first performance in nearly a decade.

They also went crazy 505, Arabella, Teddy Picker, The View From The Afternoon and Fluorescent Adolescent, before finishing with I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor and RU Mine?.

Arctic Monkeys will headline Glastonbury this year alongside Guns N’ Roses and Elton John.

The full Glastonbury Festival line-up and stage times were announced on Monday.

The festival – which takes place from 21 to 25 June at Somerset’s Worthy Farm – will see Queens Of The Stone Age, Skepta and The Chemical Brothers join the already confirmed headline acts.

Other artists performing at the event include Royal Blood, Caroline Polachek and Digga D, as the full lineup has now been announced.

Rock duo Royal Blood will play for Arctic Monkeys on Friday.

And unknown act, The ChurnUps are also on the lineup and many believe it to be the band Pulp.
