Anyone watching? I thought I’d make a thread we can drop in and out of to chat about what’s on.

Texas are playing right now. What an absolute bloody delight to see Sharleen Spiteri, looking exactly like herself at 55, giving it all. Her voice is still amazing. Rock on!

I saw them recently and there was almost no audience interaction. I do think he's as hot as fuck though. I don't need him to talk I can just look at his pretty face...

I've seen them, and I feel the same way about him. He seems to have a HUGE opinion of himself, surely an act but it does make me struggle to really enjoy watching them.

He looks like he's in fancy dress as Kirk from 'Dear John'. I know some on this thread are old enough to remember that!

Lol

Kirk in Dear John

He is a bit Bowie ish tonight

Alex Turner is DD1's old man crush! When I told her I'd seen Artic Monkeys first time round she didn't actually believe me! She's got a ticket for Glasgow on Sunday. I'll be listening from the comfort of my living room across the road!

Interested in this thread?

Agree. Arrogant and they just don't seem to be enjoying themselves.

SatelliteStomper · 23/06/2023 22:54

DH and I were just saying we're finding this a bit dull. AT is a good songwriter and a stylish fella, but seems to have believed his own hype for too long.

Can't imagine he'll lose too much sleep over the opinions of us old codgers though 😆

This is interesting. I was just saying he acts like an incredibly attractive man but he looks like every lad I went to school with, just normal.

Jackiebrambles · 23/06/2023 22:54

I’m very much old enough to remember Dear John and just googled Kirk - you are spot on! 😂

AlphaAlpha · 23/06/2023 22:55

Hot chips keyboard player (not joe Goddard) looks like he's been at the disco biscuits...

JayAlfredPrufrock · 23/06/2023 22:56

I too thought he was channelling Bowie.

Jellykat · 23/06/2023 22:56

OMG i remember dear John! Yes yes to Kirk, 100%

TragicMuse · 23/06/2023 22:57

Ah @LubaLuca, skinny boys with big noses are my type! Always have been.

Lovely Ralph Bates who died too young😕

Yes Alex is very aloof

AzureBlue99 · 23/06/2023 22:58

Artic Monkeys are as dull as fuck

LadyVF · 23/06/2023 22:58

I’ve seen AMs at Glasto before, they were v good. But this isn’t doing it for me.
As a PP said, they don’t look like they’re enjoying it. It is AT’s ‘nerves’ around his voice? Trying to be too cool for school?
Just seems a bit flat so far.

Stopsnowing · 23/06/2023 22:59

not getting the arctic monkeys at all

mewkins · 23/06/2023 22:59

I know he's had laryngitis but his voice isn't good enough for the slow songs (or the whole of their last album). It works much better on their fast early stuff. The band look like they're just there for the ££

Anjo2011 · 23/06/2023 22:59

What a load of shite.

covetingthepreciousthings · 23/06/2023 22:59

I'd much rather have The 1975 headline tbh.

DeadButDelicious · 23/06/2023 23:00

The bass player is sporting some natty pistachio flares😀

Ok, gonna bail out, cant take anymore of Alex... think he might just disappear up his own bum in a mo.

Arabels · 23/06/2023 23:00

I’m finding all the headliners a bit lacklustre…I remember this, I often like second or third billing more!

Where's the Dance Floor song in 1984

I think it might be for the best if he did!

One of my friends was talking about those Arctic Monkeys gigs in Sheffield recently and he said ‘you know how some people always say there should be a straight Pride…well this was like straight Pride’ 😂😂😂
