Antarctic Monkeys

Antarctic Monkeys play O2 Academy Islington, London, on 14 November 2026. Formed to revisit the Arctic Monkeys’ songbook on stage, the band runs through the Sheffield outfit’s catalogue with attention to the sound and energy that made those tracks stick. Expect early cuts from Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not and Favourite Worst Nightmare, through the darker turns of Humbug and the stadium-ready hooks of AM, up to the later atmospheres of Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino and The Car.

The set navigates sharp indie riffs, basslines built for bounce and drum patterns that drive crowd call-and-response. You’re likely to hear I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor, Brianstorm, Fluorescent Adolescent and Teddy Picker alongside slow-burners like Do I Wanna Know?, 505 and R U Mine?. Vocals lean into Turneresque phrasing without pastiche, guitars switch from crunchy downstrokes to nocturnal reverb, and the rhythm section keeps the pulse steady while leaving space for singalongs.

Whether you know every B-side or just the big singles, it’s a straight run at a catalogue that shaped the 2000s and beyond, played live and loud in a room made for it.
