Arctic Monkeys Playing the Riverside Next Summer

There is something in this though, quite a lot of their earlier fans have been put off (in some cases, to put it mildly) by the newer material. Fair to say TBHAC left a decent chunk of their audience behind.

Obviously the set will span all eras/albums (as recent setlists confirm) but I do think there would be something in them touring the newer material in smaller, more appropriate venues (whilst making clear only these albums will be played). It's quite intricate in places and I'm not sure it will translate to stadia/outdoor gigs.

Just my preference of course, I absolutely loved their first album at the time (when I was much younger - ha!) but would rarely listen to it these days, preferring their newer vibe.

Right, pass me Histoire de Melody Nelson ;)

agreed, the newer material would work much better at more intimate venues. I get that many of their fans have stopped listening to their newer material, I prefer it, more intricate, more layered, more complex. I don't want bands to play the same thing and not grow as people, they're not 19 anymore and they're not pretending to be.

Were the £53 seated ticket advertised as “may have limited view”? That’s the reason I ended up paying £80 a ticket for seats ( no standing avail by the time I got to order my tickets)

No, i did notice some that were marked as limited view but just selected another option where it wasnt stated.
 
I don't mind TBHAC but Mirrorball is absolutely minging. They're releasing Body Paint tonight. Given the ticket prices i might wait to see what this one's like before trying general sale tomorrow. They're also supposed to be headlining Glasto next year.
 
Sold out except for singles
Now, Tout sites have bought loads u0 already trying to sell them for £220 each.
