It was 2002 when Arctic Monkeys formed in the north English city of Sheffield. Featuring the distinctive, aggressively enunciated lead vocals of Alex Turner, the band features a classic lineup: two guitars and a bass across the front, drums in the back.

Famously unwilling to sit still and commit to any one sound, the Arctic Monkeys’ genre varies from album to album. Its discography spans from indie rock to hip hop to garage grunge. While this type of ambition doesn’t always land well with critics when other bands attempt it, with Arctic Monkeys it always seems to work. This might be because the way the band arranges its songs always stems from the same DNA source, or because Turner’s vocals are like nothing else on the scene.

The Arctic Monkeys experienced an unusual rise to fame. School friends Alex Turner, Matt Helders, and Andy Nicholson formed the band in 2002 as an instrumental-only project. Jamie Cook soon came on board as a second guitarist — it was he who came up with the name “Arctic Monkeys.” Turner soon got past his reluctance to be the band’s lead singer, and on June 13, 2003, the group played its first-ever gig at The Grapes in Sheffield.

Over the course of 2003, the band demoed 18 songs — a collection that would eventually be dubbed Beneath the Boardwalk. It gave the songs away on burned CDs at shows, which fans quickly began to file-share with one another. Its popularity began to grow across northern England, even gaining the attention of the BBC. In 2005, it recorded and self-released an EP called Five Minutes With Arctic Monkeys, which led the band to sign with Domino Recording Company.

In 2006, Arctic Monkeys released its debut album Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not, which became the fastest-selling debut album in the history of the UK music charts. It’s also regarded as one of the greatest debut albums in history — no surprise that it won Best British Album in 2007 at the Brit Awards. The band even defeated the dreaded sophomore slump when its second album, Favourite Worst Nightmare, won the same award the following year.

It takes a lot of vision to craft an upward trajectory from a high starting point like that. Arctic Monkeys continued releasing new albums every two years or so: Humbug in 2009, Suck It and See in 2011, and AM in 2013. Every single one debuted at number one in the UK – a first for an independent-label band.

The Arctic Monkeys’ fifth album, AM, vaulted the band’s career forward, with the single “Do I Wanna Know?” from that album winning international fame. After topping four Billboard charts, the hit was given the vaunted platinum designation in the UM and won Best British Album in 2014.

If you’re trying to judge a band’s chutzpah, look no further than the choices it makes after achieving extreme success. After going platinum, the Arctic Monkeys took four years to craft Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino. Released in 2018, this album broke free from the band’s guitar-driven indie rock roots and moved to piano-based music. Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino was nominated for Best Alternative Music Album at the 2019 Grammys.

The Arctic Monkeys took another four years to perfect the sound for its next album. The Car, released in October 2022, debuted second on the charts in ten territories – and likely would have claimed the top spot if not for a new release by Taylor Swift at the same time.

As Arctic Monkeys tour dates continue to populate the calendar for 2022 and 2023, catch the band live to see one of the most exciting stage shows in the world right now. Turner’s songwriting along with the band’s arrangements and live stage team make it a must-see for this year. Find a concert near you on Songkick.

Live reviews

Seeing Arctic Monkeys not once, but twice, in two days was absolutely insane - I'd like to have rated it a Four out of Five simply for the pun but personally I think there's no doubt that the show(s) were as close to perfect as a concert can get. Mini Mansions were quite a decent support act - their set included a few fillers but ended on a high with an energetic rendition of Mirror Mountain. AM's setlist varied over the two nights but both nights were an amalgamation of songs from all six albums - a perfect blend of atmospheric, new TBHC songs and older, grungier hits. Live staples like Brianstorm, Pretty Visitors and Don't Sit Down Cause I've Moved Your Chair had everyone out of their seat, while there were also some (pleasantly) surprising inclusions like Library Pictures and From The Ritz To The Rubble (first time in Australia since 2009!!!). Both nights' encores concluded with a blistering performance of R U Mine? which was the perfect way to end such a intense night. Alex Turner's onstage antics oozed pure class combined with true rock n' roll - a highlight of the second night was the dance Alex did whilst holding a stool above his head! The crowd went crazy for that - as well as his famous hip gyrations, especially during Cornerstone! Matt was full of energy on the drums, Jamie and Nick were equally hyped - but nothing really compared to Alex's voice, both speaking and singing (which quite frankly I could listen to all day). The sound quality was utterly fantastic - you could not ask for more from a band - the only minor downside was the minimalistic, Kubrick-esque backdrop & stage - but Arctic Monkeys have never really been the type of band that relies on on-stage effects to transfix the audience… Alex does that quite adequately on his own! As a group of sixteen-seventeen year olds, myself and my friends were probably the youngest people there but it was refreshing to see a lot of people our age - the majority was (understandably) uni students. Such an outstanding pair of performances that I'm so glad I went twice (and to be honest it was so enthralling I genuinely could have gone a third time if there was another Melbourne show). Alex Turner is, in his own words, a CERTIFIED MINDBLOWER. A definite Five out of Five.

This was by far the best concert I have ever been to. Everyone on the crowd was just so wild, happy and full of energy. The whole crowd sang all of the songs and danced to it. That energy that I felt when I was there face to face with the Arctic Monkeys was incredible, I can’t even begin to explain it. I wish I could go back in time and rewatch that concert. I just love them, and their songs are extremely good. Alex’s voice was perfect last night. Jamie, Nick and Matt were amazing too.

The arena where the show took place was pretty good and had a nice space. It was a little crowded in the beginning, but then people just started to spread out.

The moment when 505 came on, everyone just danced calmly and sang along so well. We all turned on our cellphones flashlights so we could light it up.

Do I Wanna Know was my favorite song performed from last night. I love that beat and it’s my favorite song in the whole world. I wish I could listen to it played live everyday.

Honestly, going to the Arctic Monkeys concert was the best decision I have ever made in my life. I wish everyone could be there to feel the vibe with me. I also managed to buy myself a shirt, not from the official store because it was expensive, but from someone else selling them. It looks really good, it’s from the “Tranquility Base Hotel and Casino” album.

I just wish they would’ve played some other songs too, like “I Wanna Be Yours”, “Mardy Bum”, “No Buses”, “Despair in the Departure Lounges” and a couple others.

Alex sang pretty fast and wouldn’t give us a minute between each song, and unfortunately that resulted on the show going on by pretty quickly.

But despite it all, I loved it and it was the best night of my life so far. It was perfect, I miss it already.

Jamie, Nick, Alex and Matt, you guys are amazing. Thank you for everything last night. I will never forget it.

I'm a fan. I must start it off saying this, 'cause as a fan, they have never, ever let me down. I've been to three Arctic Monkeys live gigs, in different phases of the band. The first one, back in 2007 when we were all just kids wanting to have a blast, than in 2011 and finally last Friday, in front of a sold out 35 thousand people crowd. My favorite will always be the first one... I was young, reckless and hopeful because of this great band that had started online and was actually very good. But to see them all grown up and mature, and with complete control of that sea of people that was there just for them, was very, very meaningful. They interact less with the crowd than before, and have more of a rockstar attitude, but it suits them. It's all part of the show and it doesn't make them less charismatic at all. Specially Mr. Alex Turner. The setlist is a real trip through their career so far and even thought they had to cut a few fan favorites, the most meaningful songs are there, shining and evoking beautiful sing-a-longs. One of the highlights ended up being an acoustic rendition of "Mardy Bum", right before the last song, very effusively requested by the fans and beautifully delivered by Alex Turner, all by himself. Whenever he was not playing guitar and singing with his eyes closed, he would leave the guitar, hold the mic with two hands and dance like no one even knew he could. Oh, Mr. Turner... You've become quite the frontman! One of the most interesting things about them is that you'll get the same thrill by watching a large arena set and a small, intimate performance. Their songs are just that powerful. And these guys aren't even in their 30's yet! Long live to the Arctic Monkeys!

Arctic Monkeys, making me as giddy as a goat since 2002! Need I say anymore?

Some would say they have done the full 360 in their last 5 albums, but they still somehow manage to create something different and even more meaningful each time a new release comes along, which is what you want from a mainstream band.

As they have had to grow up as well as lock down their career in a relatively short period of time, their sounds represent a different stage in their lives from overnight success, heartache and self discovery. After hiding away in the desert to record an epic follow up album to 'Suck it and see' (Admirable contribution from Josh Homme) the sheer dedication to their music was sincerely portrayed in 'AM' and things got really serious over night. After a test drive of the new material at Glastonbury 2013, a few new hairstyles and a nonchalant attitude the band became pure rock and roll stars.

From small venues to outdoor arenas Arctic Monkeys can do no wrong - With carefully selected playlists to cover their early and playful classics such as 'I bet you look good on the dance floor' and 'Dancing shoes' right through to their seductive, jaw dropping, riff-tastic songs 'My propeller' and 'Don't sit down cause I moved your chair'. Frontman 'Sir' Alex Turner knows how to work a crowd with a bit of cheeky banter and endless appreciation to their fans, which is always an added bonus. With Arctic Monkeys, always expect the unexpected.

Arctic Monkeys is the most riveting mainstream band you could see live. They feature music from their first release to their last, create a powerful atmosphere for fans, and Alex Turner interacts with the crowd in a refreshing way with his exotic accent. Arctic Monkeys' music varies from upbeat to slower tempo, but in my opinion all of it is amazing. They could potentially play any venue successfully due to their great stage presence and how similar their live music is to their recorded music. I was astounded by their true talent, which is hard to find in mainstream music today with the excessive use of autotune and other enhancement programs. My favourite part of the concert was when they played "I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor" because it was a song that the majority of concert attendees knew and the vibe completely changed when they played the song. It brought new and old fans together and excited the audience. The most surprising thing was that I thought it wasn't going to be a very good concert due to the fact that I paid for last minute seats in the back, but honestly, it didn't affect the atmosphere at all! The concert was even better than most of the concerts I've been up close to in large venues. Overall, they played a great live show and it was one of the best concerts I've ever been to. I'd highly recommend buying tickets and experiencing some real musical talent and live playing.

The whole experience was amazing. Although the Lemon Twigs were down a brother (With Brian having to go home due to being ill) it did not effect their electric performance, finishing the set with one of their best songs 'As Long As Were Together'.

And then of course. The Arctic Monkeys came on and the crowd lost it before they'd even started playing. The set they played was a perfect balance between the new album and their older stuff and not a single person was sitting down by the last song. As they packed up and walked off the crowd (as is to be expected) started cheering for another song and as per usual Alex Turner does not disappoint! The boys came back on stage and bought the house down with 'I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor' and finally 'R U Mine'.

A perfect night.

Excellent! As always...

People aren't crazy about the new album but "Four out of Five" has enough swagger to start the gig and even though they played 505 a bit too early for me the catalogue and band's attitude is far more than enough to keep even the most cynical (me) happy.

That's where I draw the line. Forest Hills is an absolutely BEAUTIFUL venue and the weather was perfect but FLASH SEATS is a terrible experience. I had to transfer a ticket and we encountered issues that meant we missed the first few songs (you could hear 4/5 thankfully, but didn't see it).

Flash Seats...either get your app in order or just let us print the tickets at home like every other normal working ticket app...we didn't need another one but you've cornered a market for yourself.

Sort it out.

Finally, my long awaited chance to see Arctic Monkeys. Live. In concert. How can that not make anyone crazy with joy? Needless to say, THEY ROCKED. True, finding somewhere comfortable to sit in the Klipsch Lawns that wasn't covered in mud or bird poop was hard and stressful, but it all disappeared the second the electrifying riff of "Do I Wanna Know?" broke on stage. After that, all that worried me was completely gone as I soon found myself every single second. And oh yeah, White Denim know how to kick some butt as well, as they somehow managed to make and awesome concert even more enjoyable. My only regret? That the concert couldn't go on forever. Visually Stunning, musically vivid, here's to you Alex Turner and your Arctic Monkeys, may your music always be more than awesome!

I had an absolutely fantastic time seeing the Arctic Monkeys live, without a doubt. Their set list was delivered very well; the concert started with a few fun songs, wound down to slow songs, and build back up again to more fun songs to end the night with. They upheld their reputation of talent on their instruments, of course. These guys played in a way that made everyone in the crowd fell alive and on fire. Seeing them at an outside venue was marvelous. It was open so you weren't going deaf, there was a little more space between each person, and the sound was able to get to everyone without being overwhelming. The opener, White Denim, definitely impressed me. The whole experience was unforgettable. I love them more after this concert!

The Arctic Monkeys are amazing live. I was already in love with them just listening to their music on my phone. But live? Wow. Their lead singer, Alex Turner, has a lot of interesting and funny dance moves. For example, to the song "Don't Sit Down Cause I've Moved Your Chair" he acts out all the actions in the song. During the show, there were a lot of cool lights and everyone was having a good time. If you really need to read a review to decide whether or not you should go to the Arctic Monkeys concert, then you're not as in love with them as you should be in order to go to their concert. But since I've already written so much, I hope you divide to go because it is a truly unforgettable experience.

Sheffield locals on The Leadmill eviction: “It’s the cultural heart of our city – don’t rip it out”

Arctic Monkeys' ex tour manager, local venue owners, an MP and others from the Steel City music scene tell NME about local uproar around the venue's future

Figures from the Sheffield music scene have spoken to NME about the local reaction to the proposed eviction of the current operators of The Leadmill.

  • READ MORE:  If Sheffield’s Leadmill – the venue that helped break Arctic Monkeys – closes, we all lose something

Last week,  the iconic Sheffield venue and club told music fans of the “devastating news  that in one year’s time, our Landlord is trying to evict us, forcing us to close” – leading to  an outpouring of upset and support from the music world .

The  current bosses of The Leadmill then responded to the owners, denying their intentions to close the venue . Leaders of Electric Group, the company who bought the freehold for the site in March 2017, argued that they’d be removing the current management but keeping the building as a music venue after renovations.

Electric Group CEO Dominic Madden – whose company also own London’s Electric Brixton, the SWX nightclub in Bristol, and NX Newcastle – told his Twitter followers that “the management may change but the song stays the same”. Along with Madden, Electric Group is a joint venture with Jake Lewis of the Lewis Family, who run retailer River Island along with hotels, property development and asset management businesses.

The current management then hit back , arguing that they were being “exterminated by the landlord”. It also emerged that Electric Group had registered for the trademark ‘Electric Sheffield’  back in February.

Arctic Monkeys, Richard Hawley, Jarvis Cocker and Bring Me The Horizon’s Oli Sykes are among the Sheffield artists to have spoken out in support of the venue . Now, a number of additional figures from the Sheffield music scene have told NME about widespread opposition to the current operators being removed.

The Leadmill in Sheffield

Recommended

Timm Cleasby has been working in the Sheffield music scene for over 30 years. He’s worked as a sound engineer, has run a PA company for local venues and clubs, worked as chief technician at The Leadmill for a period in the ’90s, and was also Arctic Monkeys ‘ tour manager from 2005 to 2010. It was also at The Leadmill where he met his wife Sam 24 years ago.

“The importance for us is that there’s so much history there that belongs to The Leadmill,” Cleasby told NME . “If The Leadmill’s not part of Sheffield, then it’s a bit of a travesty for all those people who have a lasting memory of the place.”

Looking back on his time working with Arctic Monkeys, he recalled: “We did gigs at The Leadmill. Before we’d go on tour, we’d go and try things out there. There’s a huge connection between the lads and The Leadmill. If you’re a band in Sheffield, then The Leadmill is huge for you.”

He continued: “Sheffield without The Leadmill is just more of our culture and heritage disappearing. We understand that companies invest in things and what have you, but this team just know the city so well. It’s not just Sheffield it will hurt, it’s wider South Yorkshire and the whole country. It has a national legacy.”

Cleasby described the idea of The Leadmill no longer being part of the city as “heartbreaking”, not least for the many memories that it holds for locals. He and his wife Sam even own a piece of the dancefloor from when it was replaced during renovations, complete with a quote and the date to mark when they met.

“I’m born and bred here, and I grew up in [the] area surrounding The Leadmill,” said Sam. “When you’re underage, you’d see those red lights on the sign. It was like you were waiting until you were old enough to get in. It’s so ingrained into Sheffield. That red sign has always been a Sheffield landmark, and what it represents is a massive part of the city.

“People are upset at the thought of losing something that is so special. It’s a running joke in Sheffield that most couples met in The Leadmill. We met there. We’ve got photos of me massively pregnant with my son there, and then 18 years later he played on stage there. It’s not just a flash-in-the-pan thing. It’s not about people just moving on. It’s generational. My older sisters went to gigs there and still do. We go there, our kids now go there.”

Beyond its reputation as a music venue, Sam said that The Leadmill means so much more to the people of Sheffield.

“The club nights are so special and the comedy is brilliant too,” she said. “They’re LGBTQ+-friendly and do great drag nights too. It’s not just about the music. All of the things they do matter because it feels like they really know the community that they’re serving.

“It’s not about, ‘Oh, here comes someone from Big London’ – it’s about having a team in place who are from the community and know the community and what they need.”

Sam Gregory is the Music Editor at Sheffield’s Now Then Magazine , who have also been working to share information on the ongoing dispute for local music fans. Gregory has been living in Sheffield since 2009, and described the general mood towards the eviction as “a pretty unanimous feeling of anger”.

“I haven’t come across any positive response from anyone in Sheffield,” he said. “I don’t know if that’s what the landlord expected, but now they’re public enemy number one. I went to a pub near the venue when it was announced and everyone was talking about it. It’s not just a Twitter thing, or [exclusive to] people who remember going there 10 or 20 years ago. It’s people on the ground who live here now and are angry about it. It’s the cultural heart of the city and we don’t want that to be ripped out.”

Gregory explained how widespread the anger was at “the fact that it’s an independent venue that’s been putting on shows for 42 years”.

“For a lot of that time, it’s been the only major venue for left-field and alternative music – then someone wants to come in chuck all of that away!” he said. “There’s a huge feeling of injustice about that. People who live in Sheffield have independently spent decades building up The Leadmill into what it is today, and then someone from London just wants to steam in and chuck out all of the people who have done that. They want to rip out everything in the venue and turn into something completely different.”

Gregory’s mother also frequented The Leadmill when she attended university in Sheffield in the ’80s, and described a strong sense of public affection towards the club and gig space.

“There are a lot more venues than there used to be, but they wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for The Leadmill,” Gregory said. “For a long time in the ‘80s and the ‘90s, if you wanted to see something interesting then that was the only place that you could.

“There are all sorts of bands from Sheffield who … played some of their first gigs there, like Pulp and Arctic Monkeys. A lot of other bands from further afield played their formative gigs there. People talk about seeing The Flaming Lips , The White Stripes and Arcade Fire all cut their teeth there.”

Responding to the Electric Group’s proposed plans for refurbishment, Gregory argued that “there doesn’t seem to be anything wrong with the venue as it is”.

“No one complains and says that The Leadmill is run down,” he argued. “It’s a state-of-the-art venue and bands love playing there. All of this talk about making substantial improvements, to anyone who actually goes there, that’s a bit of a mystery. It’s perfectly fine as it is.

“The people who run it currently have invested loads in the venue. They ripped out the whole dancefloor a few years ago, replaced the lighting and the sound. It’s not like it’s a rundown venue. That’s the impression you get if you listen to the landlord, but that’s just not true at all.”

Ultimately, Gregory said that he doesn’t believe Sheffield music fans or artists will accept the venue if the eviction goes ahead. “There are so many people who are saying they’ll never go there again – and I’m sure there are plenty of bands who’ll never play there again,” he added. “I don’t think the landlord is going to win this, it feels like they’ve misjudged it.”

John Duffy is general manager of local pub and venue The Greystones, and told NME that many local gig spaces agreed that was happening was “a travesty”.

“I’m Sheffield born and bred. My first ever live gig was at The Leadmill, it was my first ever night out in a club, and it’s been an institution of the city for 42 years,” he said. “I’m not alone in that my formative years were spent there. It has helped to launch the career of however many bands.

“We’re a music city, so to have that part of our heritage stolen is heartbreaking. It’ll just become another soulless place like everywhere else.”

From behind the bar, Duffy said that The Leadmill’s current plight has been “all anyone could talk about”.

“It’s a shock to everyone,” he said. “I have not encountered a single person who thinks it’s a good idea. As a venue we work quite closely with The Leadmill. We host events for one another. They’re a much bigger entity than us, but they’re involved in so many of the smaller venues in the city. The better one of us does, the better we all do. It’s not a competition, it’s the city as a whole striving to be better.”

He went on: “Sure, a lick of paint and spending a bit of money on it would be nice – but it doesn’t need it! Yeah it’s a bit broken and dirty, but it’s ours! It’s part of the fabric and it’s just not going to be the same. For the people who have been running it for all these years to have it stolen from them is just awful.”

Duffy added: “We’ll all lose something – especially for the Sheffield natives. It’s a part of our history. We’ll just keep losing these venues until we end up with nothing. If we don’t have these venues, where does your grassroots music come from?”

View this post on Instagram A post shared by @jarvisbransoncocker

Louise Haigh is MP for Sheffield Heeley, and has been vocal in her support of the current team at the venue, describing The Leadmill as “an absolutely fundamental part of Sheffield’s cultural and musical heritage. She said that news of the eviction has been greeted with “absolute horror across the city”.

“It has brought music fans of all tribes out in support of The Leadmill,” she said. “The management team have done such amazing work, and not just in surviving through COVID , in building this amazing national icon over many decades. It’s just quite horrifying to think that a landlord from outside of the city can come in, and in one fell swoop, strip all of the social and cultural capital that’s been built up over so many years.

“It’s not just a brilliant music venue, but it’s helped to bring up so many amazing acts that just wouldn’t have grown without the support and presence of a place like The Leadmill. It is treasured and has united people across the generations.”

The Coral Leadmill

Haigh also noted that “there’s no local appetite at all for The Leadmill to be anything different”, and argued that the Electric Group might be better suited to open a venue elsewhere in the city.

“If a company wants to come in from London, build a new music venue and turn another derelict warehouse into a brilliant music venue, then they’re very welcome – but what they’re not welcome to do is come in, take over and essentially asset-strip a really well-loved and treasured venue like The Leadmill,” the MP argued.

“I’ve spoken in Parliament before about the need for live music venues with this kind of capacity and around the 400-1,000 person mark. We’ve lost so many over the years. We’ve lost The Boardwalk, we’ve lost The Harley. People feel so passionately about it because those sized venues are essential to bring on local and burgeoning talent.”

She went on: “Without that, if you’re leaping to venues like The O2 Academy – which are also really important – then it just misses out [on] that part of the pipeline of talent. It leaves the industry completely in the preserve of those [who] can rely on nepotism or wealth that’s come from outside of the industry already.”

Promising to support the venue until the matter is resolved, Haigh spoke up for the fighting spirit of Sheffield and its music fans.

“I understand that The Leadmill will be fighting on all fronts and I’ll be supporting them in every possible way in any of those battles – whether that be politically, legally or socially across Sheffield,” she said. “I’m confident. Sheffield is such a strong city and when we put our minds to something collectively, it’s very difficult to stop us.

She added: “I’m hopeful that this new landlord will see the strength of support, goodwill and genuine love for The Leadmill, and recognise that that’s not just for The Leadmill or for the building – that’s for the enormous amount of capital investment and love that’s gone into it over the years.

“It cannot be replaced. I will not stop fighting until The Leadmill is preserved. The Leadmill will not be preserved if it’s just there in the same place – it has to have the same ethos and Sheffield people running it in the interests of Sheffield.”

Electric Group were unavailable for further comment.

Tonight sees Eddie Izzard play the first of two gigs across the weekend in support of the #WeCantLoseLeadmill campaign .

Arctic Monkeys manager Ian McAndrew on the 'critical' Covid situation for stage crew

Arctic Monkeys manager Ian McAndrew on the 'critical' Covid situation for stage crew

Wildlife Entertainment CEO Ian McAndrew has told Music Week that the Covid situation is now ‘critical’ for stage crew.

McAndrew, who manages acts including Arctic Monkeys Royal Blood and Fontaines DC, has teamed up with live events workers’ charity Stagehand on the #ILoveLive prize draw, with items donated by Nile Rodgers, Florence Welch, Craig David, FKA Twigs and Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds.

The initiative will raise funds for the production staff and stage crew impacted by the loss of work caused by the pandemic.

Stagehand is the only UK charity specifically dedicated to providing hardship funding for live events industry workers, and aims to raise at least £1 million before Christmas.

“On February 25, I was thrilled to go and watch Fontaines DC perform a triumphant show at the legendary Brixton Academy,” McAndrew told Music Week . “Little did I know that would be the last show I would attend this year. Dozens of concerts, tours and festival bookings planned for 2020 and 2021 have since been postponed, rearranged, or cancelled as the impact of this global pandemic has shut down our live industry.   

“The consequences have proved hugely challenging – but for those freelance men and women who we rely on for their tour services, production skills and expertise, the outcome has been catastrophic. Many crew members who have lost their livelihoods have also been overlooked by the various government support schemes. Their situation is now critical.”

Touring artists understand and value the extraordinary work their crew and production staff undertake to ensure a show happens and many are now keen to offer their support Ian McAndrew

The #ILoveLive campaign has been spearheaded by artist manager and promoter David Stopps, and Andy Lenthall and Mike Lowe at Stagehand. They appealed to the PPL, the BPI , major record labels and artist management companies, and raised £280,000, most of which went to the 300 crew members in the most desperate need earlier this month.

The idea for a prize draw was suggested by McAndrew. He had previously set up a similar draw to benefit the Music Venue Trust, which raised £128,000 for a guitar signed by Arctic Monkeys frontman Alex Turner. David Stopps and Ian McAndrew, together with Paradigm booking agent Tom Schroeder , have since reached out to the music community for more one-off auction items. 

“Touring artists understand and value the extraordinary work their crew and production staff undertake to ensure a show happens and many are now keen to offer their support,” said McAndrew. “Joining them are promoters, booking agents, record labels and rights organisations who all recognise the uncertain future and hardship our crew and events staff currently face.”  

He added: “It is our firm hope that full capacity live shows will resume next year, but currently there is no consensus about when that might be. The future of many in the touring sector, including those who have long established careers in live music, is now in peril.

“The #ILoveLive campaign will help provide immediate assistance to those most in need. But I hope, moreover, it will encourage the government to extend their support to protect the livelihoods of all those remarkable men and women we rely on.”  

The #ILoveLive campaign , hosted by Crowdfunder, features a list of all of the artists who have contributed prizes. Tickets are priced at £5 each. The draw is now live and remains open until 6pm on December 18. The winners will then be chosen on December 23 and prizes will be sent out in January.

Highlights of the prizes on offer in the prize draw are below. 

Nile Rodgers: His classic 1957 Fender Stratocaster.

Florence Welch : Handwritten lyrics dedicated to the winner.

Mark Knopfler : The Fender Stratocaster guitar used throughout his 2019 world tour.

Craig David : Signed mixing desk that he used for his third album

Eric Clapton: His personal signed Martin acoustic guitar.

Royal Blood : The jacket frontman Mike Kerr wore during their landmark Glastonbury show in 2017.

Liam Gallagher : A signed guitar.

Robbie Williams : Handwritten lyrics dedicated to the winner.

Nick Cave and Warren Ellis: Signed bass guitar and pedal.

FKA twigs : A rare mask worn during her live show.

Arctic Monkeys Announce 2023 North American Tour

By Jazz Monroe

Arctic Monkeys Alex Turner

Arctic Monkeys have announced a string of North American dates behind The Car . The run begins in August 2023, and includes two nights at New York’s Forest Hills Stadium and one at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California. They’ll be supported by Fontaines D.C. Check out the dates below.

Last week, the band shared a second single from The Car , “ Body Paint ,” along with a video directed by Brook Linder . The band also played the song on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. The Car , which was produced by the band’s longtime collaborator James Ford, also includes lead track “ There’d Better Be a Mirrorball ” and a song called “ I Ain’t Quite Where I Think I Am ,” which the band has been playing live this year.

The Car follows 2018’s Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino , which came five years after Arctic Monkeys fifth album, AM . That record hit No. 1 on the UK charts, as did all of its predecessors. Since Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino , Arctic Monkeys have shared the B-side “ Anyways ,” performed for Austin City Limits , and released a live album for charity, recorded at London’s Royal Albert Hall.

Arctic Monkeys team up with Big Issue to produce unique tour programme

Two British icons unite as Big Issue creates a special souvenir tour programme for Arctic Monkeys, on sale at their UK and Irish dates with all proceeds going to Big Issue

If you are heading to one of the Arctic Monkeys’ huge shows in the UK and Ireland over the next few weeks, look out for a very special collaboration with Big Issue. 

Because Britain’s biggest band and Big Issue have joined forces to produce the souvenir programme for the homecoming leg of Arctic Monkeys’ globe-trotting tour. And it’s a belter.

The programme features brand-new, never-before-seen images of the band on the road, plus an in-depth interview with the band’s beating heart, drummer Matt Helders. It continues the longstanding relationship between two British icons dating back to 2006, when we first covered their rise. Last year, The Big Issue got the global exclusive interview with frontman Alex Turner as Arctic Monkeys announced their seventh album,  The Car . The interview was conduc­ted for Big Issue by long-time fan and  Line of Duty  star Martin Compston.

tour manager arctic monkeys

In the exclusive new interview for the tour programme, Helders lifts the lid on life on the road two decades into the band’s journey, and tells us why the home leg of The Car Tour is “like a victory lap”. He also explains why Arctic Monkeys continue to support Big Issue. “The obvious reason is the good work you do… but it’s not just that,” he said. “It is good journalism as well as being a good cause.”

The souvenir programme is on sale for £10 at all UK and Ireland shows, starting at Ashton Gate, Bristol, on 29 May. 

Proceeds from programme sales – at the shows or online – go to Big Issue to boost our work helping the most vulnerable in society. 

If you can’t get to a show but still want one of those must-have editions, visit  bigissueshop.com  or  store.arcticmonkeys.com

The Big Issue magazine exists to give homeless, long-term unemployed and marginalised people the opportunity to earn an income. To support our work, buy a copy! If you cannot reach  your local vendor , click  HERE  to subscribe to The Big Issue today. Or give a gift  subscription . You can also purchase one-off issues from  The Big Issue Shop  or The Big Issue app, available from the  App Store  or  Google Play .
