Antarctic Monkeys

Antarctic Monkeys bring the spirit and electricity of Sheffield’s Arctic Monkeys to O2 Academy Bristol on 26 September 2026. This tribute digs into the full arc of the catalogue, from rapid-fire early riffs and punchy hooks to the darker grooves and late-night croons of later records. The set is built for release: tight guitars locking with a driving rhythm section, sharp stops, sing-along refrains and the kind of call-and-response that only works in a crowded room.

On stage, the details matter: phrasing, attitude and dynamics that capture the snap and sway of the originals without slipping into caricature. One minute it’s all nervous energy and sweat-slicked bangers, the next it leans into slower burners that invite a sway and a shout on the chorus. Whether you first fell for the garagey bursts or the moodier, widescreen cuts, this show lines them up back to back and keeps the pace. A straight-up live fix for anyone who wants those songs loud, immediate and under the lights in Bristol.
