Fans have flocked to Bramham Park in the hopes of catching tonight's headliner Arctic Monkeys. Originating from Sheffield, the band will close this year's sold-out Leeds Festival.
Arctic Monkeys gained a big following on MySpace 20 years ago and are considered as one of the first bands to come to the public's attention through the internet. Their debut album Whatever People Say I am, That's What I'm Not, which was released in 2006, became the fastest-selling debut album in UK chart history. They gained wider international fame with the success of their critically acclaimed fifth album AM in 2013.
Lead singer Alex Turner and his fellow bandmates show no signs of stopping, as they recently announced their seventh studio album The Car, which will be released on October 21, 2022. If you would like to watch Arctic Monkeys' headline set tonight at Leeds festival, here's everything you need to know.

What time is Arctic Monkeys set at Leeds festival?
Arctic Monkeys will be performing their headliner set on main stage east from 9.20pm. The band banned BBC One from broadcasting their Reading set last night, and at the time of writing we can't confirm if BBC will be streaming their Leeds set tonight.
The alternative and indie band first played the both Leeds and Reading festival in 2005 and had their first headline set four years later. Back in 2014, Turner told NME (reported by Gigwise) the festival "has a special place in our hearts, as it's the only one at which we've truly enjoyed the '360 experience'. As teenagers we attended a few times and fond memories were forged."
What did they perform at Reading festival?
Arctic Monkeys treated fans to a number of classics, from I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor to Brianstorm. The Reading crowd even got a glimpse into the band's forthcoming album The Car, when they played a song named I Ain't Quite Where I Think I Am. The song made its live debut earlier this week at Zürich Openair Festival. The set list Leeds Festival is likely to be the same as it was for Reading Festival which was:
- Do I Wanna Know
- Brianstorm
- Snap Out Of It
- Crying Lightning
- Teddy Picker
- That's Where You're Wrong
- Potion Approaching
- The View From The Afternoon
- Cornerstone
- Pretty Visitors
- Tranquility Base Hotel + Casino
- Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High?
- I Ain't Quite Where I Think I Am
- Do Me A Favour
- From The Ritz To The Rubble
- I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor
- Knee Socks
- 505
