Shortly after performing a one-off, intimate, cell phone-free concert in Brooklyn last month, Arctic Monkeys have revealed 2023 North American tour dates .

Following the release of their upcoming album The Car on Oct. 21, the band will spend the fall touring in South America, then early next year in Australia and the U.K. They’ll finally head back to the States in August, kicking off in Minneapolis on the 25th. The trek will extend through late September, when it concludes in Inglewood, California, on the 29th. Fontaines, D.C., are slated to open.

Arctic Monkeys Announce 2023 North American Tour

By Jazz Monroe

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 performing at the Moody Center in Austin, Texas

Fan reviews: Arctic Monkeys were electrifying! The energy in the venue was electric. We sang along to every song , danced, screamed and cheered to every moment they were on stage! The setlist did not disappoint, absolutely adored the stage with the extra camera to bring them all a little bit closer to us! We loved it! One of my favorite concerts! Awesome concert. Played mostly the hits. I knew most of the songs. Band was amazing. Perfect. Best time of my life! It was amazing you just had to be there. They played a lot of their greatest hits and song from some of their recent albums. I remember when I first discovered them I literally fell in love with every song. I would listen to them while I was working or drawing and I was like I just have to see them perform live. So very grateful that I got the opportunity to see them perform, so much excitement and nostalgia. Wouldn't trade that night for the world. Watching the lads play has been a dream of mine. I was close enough to watch facial expressions of all four. Alex changed my life with his spirit and Matt had talent and grace to the moon and back. Pure love. I wanna go back everyone was such a vibe and the band was amazing I loved seeing them in real life I could not stop smiling. My voice is gone.

Arctic Monkeys Pull Through Austin On Car Tour

When the Arctic Monkeys walked onto the stage on Friday, Sept. 15 at the Moody Center stadium, the audience erupted into ecstatic applause as the stadium went dark and the bass of the opening song, Sculptures of Anything, surged. The electrifying performance and the stunning visuals completely captivated the audience. The band quickly followed up the opener with the song, Brainstorm, keeping the same intense energy alive. 

The setlist covered each era of the Arctic Monkeys, especially from their most famous album, AM , which pushed them into fame. Decked in leather jackets, black attire, and clunky Doc Martens, the crowd completely lost their minds when the band brought out Snap out of it from AM . A yellow ambient color shined over the stage, focused on the lead singer Alex Turner. Snap out of it, a typically energetic song, was performed by Turner at a slower tempo than usual. Shortly, fans caught on to the rhythm change.

Aside from Turner’s rhythm, his enigmatic showmanship was yet to waver. Filling moments between songs with banter sent the audience into laughter and admiration of the British singer. 

  Making their way through the albums, they performed my personal favorite song, Crying Lighting, which was from their 2009 album, Humbug. An electrifying performance with flashing lights and fog on the stage, Turner completely mesmerized the audience with his captivating performance. The song opens with guitar chords creating a somber mood complementing Turner’s introspective lyrics that wonderfully explore themes of disillusionment and the complexities of a relationship. Turner gave his all in this performance, his voice perfectly emulating the emotions found in the song. 

Neither the band nor Turner felt bitter about the fan’s common preference for their old albums over the newer ones. The audience and I craved songs from AM , an album filled with high-energy songs. Recited perfectly word by word by the crowd, Turner perfectly hit each note, his quick fingers dancing perfectly across his guitar. His clean and thorough performances made him seem almost as if he was on autopilot.

As the energetic performance continued, the atmosphere in the moody center stadium was electric. A sense of tranquility was found as a giant disco ball lowered from the ceiling, which lit up the ebullient Moody Center stadium. There’d Better Be A Mirrorball, a beautiful ballad, came on. The audience, exhilarated by this old classic-like song, swayed to the song completely at peace. Turner’s ability to seamlessly transition between soft ballads and powerful rock music was one of the factors that impressed me most at the concert. 

  The stage was illuminated by red lights, highlighting specifically Turner, as the song Do I wanna know completely overtook the audience. Turner glided across the stage, giving attention to all sides of the crowd. This song was definitely a personal favorite in terms of performance from AM . As the concert was coming to what appeared as an end, the adrenaline of the audience reached  a new peak. The band was completely on fire, not missing a beat and keeping up with the energy of the audience. 

After performing what seemed like their last piece, Body paint (extended outro), the audience screamed for an encore as the band was leaving the stage. After chanting “encore” for a solid 10 minutes, the band finally returned to the stage. The stadium was filled with ear-piercing, high-pitched screams. The band returned performing the song Suck it and See, surprising the audience with a total of three encore songs. The crowd went completely wild, and screams of “I love you, Alex Turner” echoed across the stadium.

Finally, the concert came to an end with the song R U MINE? , my favorite part of the three-song encore. With its infectious hooks and catchy lines, this song quickly became a fan-favorite. After the thrilling performance sadly came to an end, Alex Turner lagged behind the band, blowing kisses to the audience and waving goodbye. Turner’s charm and undeniable stage presence continue to solidify him as one of the most captivating performers the rock world has seen. 

The Austin performance was nothing short of extraordinary from the visually stunning effects to the band’s effortless performance — every aspect of the concert was meticulously constructed to perfection. The showcasing of the old albums to the premier of their new album The Car really expressed the band’s growth over the years. The concert was definitely a night to remember for fans who were lucky enough to attend.

The Ideas Behind the Artist: Arctic Monkeys

On Tuesday, August 2nd, Arctic Monkeys performed their first show since April 2019. As evidenced by this concert, the band’s performances continually evolve to reflect and enhance each release, allowing fans to experience the complete expression of their latest album. From the stage’s glittering mirrorball to frontman Alex Turner’s jewel-toned suits, this current tour sets the stage for the group’s long-awaited seventh album, The Car, out on October 21st .

With three songs revealed so far, The Car appears to be the group’s most experimental record yet. “There’d Better Be a Mirrorball” features suspenseful and dramatic strings, contrasting with Turner’s reflective lyrics and romantic vocals. “Body Paint” is a falsetto-laden track kept down to earth by Nick O’Malley’s muted, melodic bass part, while “I Ain’t Quite Where I Think I Am,” sports a funky wah sound with plastic soul-esque vocals.

Regarding the upcoming album, Turner has recognized The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, and film editor Walter Murch as influences on the band’s approach to production . Sonically, the group has referenced the film scores of David Axelrod- composer, arranger, and producer of the 1960s-70s- in concocting the record’s cinematic and evocative sound.

Prior to The Car , the band’s 20-year catalog evidences many changes in the Arctic Monkeys’ style and influence. The group clearly possesses creativity in their own right, but draws from a varied assortment of inspirations when crafting their own sound. From their punky debut to their expansive fifth record, the band has cited a plethora of inspirations in shaping each iteration of their sound. In anticipation of this Friday’s release, let’s explore the musicians, films, and environments that have molded the Arctic Monkeys’ sound into what it is today.

The group’s first two album cycles are best summarized through “Live in Texas,” a surprisingly local (Stubbs Bar-B-Q) 2006 performance of debut album tracks and pre-album singles. Opening with slow-jam “Riot Van” and finishing with fan favorite “A Certain Romance,” the band thoroughly reflected their Sheffield roots, singing about truncheons and tracky bottoms over upbeat indie-rock music. Heavily inspired by British indie-rockers The Strokes and The Vines, the record’s sound is intensely upbeat and charmingly unrefined.

The title of their debut album Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not somewhat summarizes its sardonic narrative style. Analyzing and retelling stories of Sheffield nightlife, Turner portrays various sides of the city and the distinctive individuals residing there. Written from the perspective of a participant rather than an observer, the stories feel comfortingly representative of everyday life, recounting abundant details and referencing local landmarks.

Following the band’s transfer into young adulthood, 2009’s Humbug led the group into the realm of post-punk revival, with tracks more comparable to Interpol than to Maximo Park. Inspired by The Velvet Underground, Nick Cave, and Hendrix’s Band of Gypsys, Arctic Monkeys adopted a sultry and mysterious sound defined by prog-rock solos, oblique lyrics, and a rounded-out rhythm section. Most notable was the change in lyricism, going from observational documentation to abstract, reflective musings on love, social life, and celebrity. Surrounded by desert landscapes and vintage saloons, their time in Josh Homme’s California Joshua Tree Studio encouraged the record’s dark, mystical sound and permanently transformed the Monkeys’ image.

Two years later, Suck it and See continued the band’s use of softened vocals and western imagery, most notable on “All My Own Stunts,” a cowboy-inspired track reminiscent of drifting, despondent, early 1960s country music. However, outside of these recurrent themes, Suck it and See marks a major departure from the wordy writing of previous records. Catchy and lighthearted lyrics prove the Monkeys’ ability to explore more playful songwriting while maintaining a poetic style. The lyrics contain a tongue-in-cheek charm inspired by Lou Reed, George Jones, and Gene Clark, while, sonically, the band utilizes vintage guitar tones and punchy bass to craft a nostalgic and summery sound influenced by The Pixies, Beach Boys, and Patsy Cline.

2013’s AM brought Arctic Monkeys to a striking level of worldwide fame, most visibly expanding their recognition in America. Accordingly, this record captures the rhythms of Dr. Dre, Outkast, and the Wu-Tang clan, while also employing the riffy rock of Black Sabbath and T. Rex. The album centers on unlikely pairings, influenced by the band’s varied musical interests and desire to continually evolve their sound. Fusing the vintage sentiments of Barbarella , Fellini, and Mean Streets with the newer, “sounds good in the car,” catchiness of modern hip-hop, the record appeals to current American audiences while also incorporating layered classic references.

Most recently, 2018’s lush, loungy Tranquility Base Hotel and Casino openly demonstrates the band’s penchant for film, literature, and cultural ideology. This record utilizes a more expansive sound to reflect its larger-than-life concept: an interplanetary hotel and casino hosting a group of eccentric guests. This imaginative theme serves as both a stylistic choice, and a jumping-off point for Turner’s observations on sci-fi media and technological social theories. From Neil Postman’s “Information Action Ratio ,” to Fassbinder’s World on a Wire , the record frequently references discussions of technological determinism and artificial intelligence, questioning the role of tech in society and remarking on its apparent unsexiness . With a sound inspired by Roubaix’s Le Samourai score and Gainsbourg’s History de Melody Nelson, the record masquerades as an obscure 70s film score rooted in jazz and psychedelia. In this way, Tranquility Base plays less like a contemporary rock album, and more as a stylized collection of experimental poetry, built on fifteen years worth of the band’s inspirations.

Arctic Monkeys’ albums reference an abundance of inspirations, from films, to literature, to social theories. The release of The Car this Friday is sure to add diversity to the contemporary music sphere and to Arctic Monkeys’ already dynamic catalog.

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.
