Arctic Monkeys are coming to Manchester, and they are bringing their usual slick rock sound with them. As part of their ‘The Car’ UK & Ireland tour, Sheffield’s finest are playing two shows at Emirates Old Trafford. 

The gigs, taking place on June 2 and 3, will see Arctic Monkeys supported by not one, but two acts. The Mysterines and Hives will join AM in Manchester, and the times of when all three will be on stage have been announced.

The Manchester shows will be the third and fourth of the UK tour, following shows in first Bristol and then Coventry. Interestingly, the setlists for both of these shows were changed, leading to speculation that further alterations to the setlist in Manchester could also be on the way. 

An example of this is the opening track of each of the first two shows. In Bristol, the band came out and played ‘Mardy Bum’ first up, a song not played live in a decade. However, two days later in Coventry, they opened the set with Brianstorm. Both songs were also played later in the set at Bristol and Coventry. 

Another notable change between the two sets was that in Bristol, AM played ‘I Wanna Be Yours’ but not ‘Big Ideas’ in Bristol and this was swapped for Coventry. The final five songs in both Bristol and Coventry were in identical order.
