The ‘AM‘ tour from Artic Monkeys drew to a close last night with a spectacular performance to close off Leeds Festival.
Celebrating their Yorkshire roots, the band wrapped up the UK leg of their extensive tour with a performance to please fans that had chosen to spend their Bank Holiday weekend at the festival. With a bumper bundle of hits spanning their entire musical career, the band mixed an array of hits from their recent album with tracks from their first album including ‘Dancing Shoes‘ and ‘Mardy Bum’.
This performance brought a long, impressive tour to a close and frontman Alex Turner expressed his adoration for the crowd before the band closed the main portion of their set with ‘505‘, claiming “We’ll leave you with a love song because we love you. Thank you for having us”.
This homecoming performance seems a fitting end to the band’s home portion of the tour before they head across the Atlantic and venture into Americas both North and South. With a four song encore, the band left the UK stage for what looks to be the final stage this year to rapturous applause, leaving crowds awaiting the announcement of further UK tour dates.
