Arctic Monkeys will arrive in the North East come Monday, with the indie-rock giants gracing Middlesbrough's Riverside Stadium to play a set jam packed with anthems old and new.
The Sheffield four-piece, fronted by Alex Turner, are currently on tour across the United Kingdom and Ireland promoting their latest release in The Car - which landed October last year.
The long-play, which includes hit singles such as There'd Better Be a Mirror Ball and Body Paint, has went down a treat since landing - despite the contrasting direction to the band's beloved fast-paced and energy-fuelled earlier tracks alike, which no doubt defined an era.

But it seems as though the rock and roll elite haven't forgotten their roots from Whatever People Say I Am...opening a sold-out tour starter at Bristol's Ashton Gate with Mardy Bum - and including absolute anthems like Brianstorm, Fluorescent Adolescent and I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor in their set.
And ahead of the band's highly-anticipated appearance in Middlesbrough come Monday, we thought we would compile a list of everything you need to know - from set times to potential tracks to be played on - on the big night itself.
