Forming in Sheffield in 2002, Arctic Monkeys ’ ascent to bona-fide megastars hasn’t been without its share of setbacks. Okay, one setback – in 2006 founding bassist Andy Nicholson left the group, then riding high after the release of their debut album. Nick O’Malley stepped into the breach, and has been a member alongside Alex Turner (vocals, guitar), Jamie Cook (guitar) and Matt Helders (drums, vocals) since. Arctic Monkeys’ high profile status was established around the release of their record-breaking debut ‘Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not’. Upon its release in January 2006 the album sold over 360,000 copies in its first week; it subsequently won that year’s Nationwide Mercury Prize and was the fastest-selling British debut LP in history, beaten one year later by Leona Lewis' 'Spirit'. Lead single ‘I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor’ charted at number one in October 2005. Album two, ‘Favourite Worst Nightmare’, was equally successful, topping the charts in April 2007. It won Best British Album at the 2008 BRIT Awards. A live album and DVD 'At The Apollo' was released in 2009 and was awarded best music DVD of the year by NME. The band’s third album 'Humbug' was released in August 2009 and went platinum in the UK, despite every single failing to hit the top 10. Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age) and James Ford (also worked on Last Shadow Puppets debut) acted as producers. James Ford also worked on the bands fourth album, 'Suck it and See' which was released in June 2011. The entire album was available free online, giving their fans the opportunity to listen before purchasing. Always lyrically engrossing, Turner’s words evoke images of working class life with an acute appreciation of social realism. In this respect they are comparable to The Streets, but instrumentally they’re closer to indie acts - The Strokes, Oasis - and appeal to a similar audience. The Arctic Monkeys are one of the first bands promoted online through social networking and fan-sites, with their growing popularity forcing record labels to pay attention.

Arctic Monkeys prvi put u Zagrebu na INmusic festivalu! Popularni britanski indie rock bend Arctic Monkeys prvi puta dolaze u Zagreb! Alex Turner (vokal), Jamie Cook (gitara), Matt Helders (bubnjevi) te Nick O'Malley (bas gitara) nastupit će na INmusic festivalu koji se na Jarunu održava od 24. do 26. lipnja. O kvaliteti Arctic Monkeysa osim milijuna prodanih albuma diljem svijeta svjedoče i brojne osvojene glazbene nagrade te nastupi na gotovo svim većim glazbenim festivalima. I ovog ljeta kao headlineri nastupaju na pozornicama festivalskih velikana poput njemačkih Hurricane i Southside, poljskog Open'er festivala, španjolskog Benicassim festivala, Super Rock festivala u Portugalu ili pak talijanskog Rock in Roma te francuskog Festival de la cité. I najveći hrvatski open air festival osigurao je nastup ovih sjajnih mladih Britanaca čime se dodatno pojačava ovogodišnji line up koji zasad uključuje legendarne bendove Iggy and the Stooges i NOFX. Arctic Monkeys postaju jedan od najvećih novih britanskih bendova. Osnovani su 2002. godine, a ujedno su jedan od prvih bendova koji je iskoristio moć interneta za svjetski uspjeh. Prvi album „Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not" izdan je 2006. godine te je postao najbrže prodavani debitantski album u britanskoj povijesti. Hitovima poput „I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor" te „When the Sun Goes Down" oduševili su kritiku i osigurali brojne poklonike. Uslijedili su albumi „Favourite Worst Nightmare" (2007), „Humbug" (2009) te „Suck It and See" (2011), a tijekom karijere izdali su i live album „At the Apollo" (2008). Novi materijal očekuje se ove godine pa bi publika INmusic festivala mogla prvi puta uživo čuti nove pjesme. Album bi, prema najavama, mogao odlikovati još žešći zvuk, a neki ga glazbeni eksperti opisuju kao jedan od najočekivanijih albuma 2013. godine. Ulaznice za INmusic festival 2013 se po redovnoj cijeni od 349 kuna prodaju u svim poslovnicama Tisak media centra, a mogu se naručiti i putem Tisak media webshopa. Poseban popust do 25. veljače mogu iskoristiti studenti i srednjoškolci te svoju ulaznicu nabaviti za samo 299 kuna. Mladi i uspješni Arctic Monkeys spadaju na popis bendova čiji se koncert jednostavno mora posjetiti. Ljeto će brzo doći, zato požurite po svoju ulaznicu.
