REVIEW: Arctic Monkeys barnstorming homecoming show leaves fans wanting more

A blistering set offered something for every fan – although it was no surprise the biggest reaction were reserved for tracks from the band’s 2006 debut album Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not, a smash-hit album of a generation which perfectly captured the rawness of four young lads having a good time on a night out in Sheffield.

The sound has expanded and developed over the following six albums – not always to universal praise – culminating in 2022’s excellent The Car and this current world tour, with drummer Matt Helders describing the two nights at Sheffield’s Hillsborough Park as “a victory lap”.

The second night opened with the barnstorming Brianstorm and set the tone for a band at the very top of their game.
