Fans were in awe
For some, being expected to deliver on the ‘biggest day in Yorkshire’s musical history’ would bring its pressure but the Arctic Monkeys are a different breed.
The Arctics had last headlined in 2014 with this latest booking coming as their third bill-topping performance for Leeds Festival - and its sister event Reading Festival. Such is the status of the band, there was always going to be excitement in the air but glowing reports from their Saturday set down south hyped things that little bit further.
It was intriguing to see those ready to bounce getting their wish with Teddy Picker and Brianstorm, from My Favourite Worst Nightmare, to those who clearly favour a more reflective mindset, seen when Tranquillity Base Hotel + Casino’s offerings aired. For yours truly, that brash swagger associated with AM has a charm which is rather hard to resist so a set packed with tracks from that record was a real joy. If I Wanna Be Yours and I Want It All could have been squeezed in they would have provided the cherry on the cake - but that’s just being greedy.
