The group played their debut single as well as songs from their latest album, 2022’s “The Car”. “I Ain’t Quite Where I Think I Am” or “There’d Better Be a Mirrorball” show that Arctic Monkeys’ musical style has evolved a bit over the years, more towards pop-rock.
How to explain this success?
English fans are very different. Many of them are from the early days, but there were also many young faces who had recently discovered the band. Many young people mingled with the thousands of fans who came to Kirchberg.
The recipe for success for the Sheffield Quartet built around Alex Turner is a combination of brilliant instrumental solos and rhythm playing, as well as lyrical lessons. One of the Arctic Monkeys’ best-known songs, “Do I Want to Know”, is just one example of the musical diversity.
505, Do I Want to Know?, Fluorescent Adolescent, Arabella, Do Me a Favor,… For an hour and a half, Arctic Monkeys turned Kirchberg into a concert hall to the delight of the fans.
