This was only a year after they released their debut album in 2006, which was the fastest selling album of all time in the UK for a very long time. More than 360k copies in the first week of its release! It was just incredible to see a band that had only released their debut album a year prior, headlining one of the biggest (if not the biggest) festival next year. That was just unheard of back then. They were also really young in this performance too, They were all 20-21 years old here!
Fun fact: Matt Helders had no drum experience prior to joining the band, he only plays the drums because "every other instrument was taken" unreal
Agile beast he is. And a nice guy too. ( Met him & Alex in Chicago)
They all had little to no experience as well
And now he is one of the most talented drummers in the world
Alex Turner was the only member that could play an instrument when he started the band .
It's been 15 years since I stood in that crowd. Watching reactions to this is still almost as exciting as being there. Plus less exhaustion:)
wow incredible :)

This group is amazing¡ The drummer is awesome
To hear these songs again for the first time and get goosebumps would be amazing!
Love them, seen them live, amazing!
I would recommend fluorescent adolescence by the arctic monkeys and a certain kind of romance by the Arctic monkeys both really good songs
You should check out the catfish and the bottlemen, they are so good! Seen them live in Glasgow 💜
okay :)
The song you hear at the start when they walk on stage is actually also a song of theirs called “Matador” it’s only an instrumental but still awesome
Glastonbury is 50% amazing and 50% where the fuck is my tent, who's shit did i just stand in IWANT MY MUMMY.
Enjoy bud, thanks.
this is when they were fucking amazing before they went to the US
Arctic Monkeys are the killers!
“And brainstorm”
*years of being bullied for not pronouncing it Brianstorm it wrong flash before my eyes*
Any more Arctic Monkeys request's? 👀
