Really looking forward to this. Any guesses on what the set list will be like? I'm guessing mainly songs from AM

Going by what they are playing during their Australia shows this week, it's AM heavy more then their first leg of the tour.

Sounds good to me :-) Altough Mardy bum and A certain romance would really top it off imo.

Nice to see they've switched it up a bit. Last year at E.P it felt very much like they were just going through the motions, they played the same setlist that they'd been playing for months. The album hadn't been released at that stage though.

Setlist is meh, i'd rather a few more old songs. But it's good!

They said in a recent interview many people are their gigs don't really care for the older songs, Turner said when they played Glastonbury no one cared when they played Fake Tale... or A Certain Romance. I think a lot of fan's want the newer stuff. I'm glad it's newer stuff heavy cause I think Humbug, SIAS and AM are probably the best stuff they've ever done. Still love their debut and FWN but I'm really pleased with their setlist right now.

Corholio

Would like to see more stuff from FWN to be honest, I think somewhere between that and Humbug is when I enjoyed Arctic Monkey's the most. I still enjoy them now and thought their new album was good, but I like slightly darker Turner on songs like 'Do Me A Favour' (which I think is one of the best songs they have ever done) and 'Old Yellow Bricks'.

They do progress good but I think there's a little bit of watering down on their sound, especially the lyrics side of it.

Would love to have seen Pretty Visitors left in, I love that song

Monsieur Folie

On the second night they got Miles Kane up and did a Last Shadow Puppets song (but sacrificed A Certain Romance for the privilege). Would love to hear one of their tunes at Marley!

Seen the monkeys live 4 times now, and made the trek over to London for the finsbury park gig on the Friday. Have to be honest, it was almost as if they didn't seem interested. For such a massive gig, I expected a bit more out of them. Hopefully they pull their socks up a bit for marlay park

I seen them at Oxegen 11 and thought they were ok , so when i seen them at EP last year i was hoping to give them another chance and i felt the same way just seemed bored , plus i cant stand Turners stupid wannabe 50's greaser gimmick

LETS BE AVN IT

Ye I feel the same way sadly. I seen them in 2006 when they just had so much energy and buzz about them. But last few years they just dont do it live for me would love to go to Marley gig but afraid they will just be going threw the motions again.

Could you expand on that a bit? What was the extra you expected out of them that they didn't give?

I thought they were excellent at EP. Granted Turner epitomises self indulgence but its making him a pretty good showman imo.

Compare them to TDCC at the same festival - they seemed bored. I'd seen them in the O2 that January and they were excellent. So I guess just like any sports teams; you can catch bands on off days.

First of all, most of the set was just their new album. When such hype had been surrounding this gig, you would imagine that it would be a 'greatest hits' type setlist. Plus they only played for about 90 minutes. I had seen Kasabian play in cork the week before, for a fraction of the price, and they had played for longer. These two gigs were supposed to practically be their equivalent of Knebworth, and it was just like listening to their CD's. Alot of people had the exact same reaction as me over there

Well everyone seem to disagree with you, everyone thought it was great. you were expecting them to bring out strings, midgets, John lennon to come back from the dead to sing a duet. They must pull their socks up for Dulux.

They are touring AM, not a greatest hit's set. They only played for 90 minutes cause they had a curfew at Finsbury park at half 10. I'm a fan of the Arctic Monkey's forum and apart from the odd voice or two many seemed to love it. I think cause it didn't go you're way you are taking pot shots.

It was just his opinion , no one said they must bring out midgets , john lennon etc. And after seeing them twice i can see where he is coming from .

Who exactly is 'everyone'? Because from reading the main arctic monkeys forum, many people had the exact same impression of the gig that I had. Not to mention the 5 of my pals that went over with me. I saw them in September at EP, and now in London, and the gig at EP was much much better. Sorry if my experience at a gig that I paid to go to, seems to have upset you so much.

Dr.Winston O'Boogie

He can piss off if he tries this at Marley, awful version and if its not gonna be full band don't bother at all.

Curfew is half 10 all over, 90 mins for an outdoor show is quite short.

2 hours at least should be expected at outdoor shows!

If curfew is half 10 then start the gig earlier, it's not exactly rocket science. To play for 90 minutes, for 60,000 people, after charging £60 a head, is extortionate. To put in a half arsed performance is inexusable. I couldn't give a ****e about what the rest of the people think, because as far as im concerned, the only people who could have thought that it was a top top gig, were the people who had their minds made up beforehand.

I really like that acoustic version

And vice versa in some cases I'd imagine
