Arctic Monkeys played Central Park Summerstage again ----- (pics, videos & the setlist)

May 25, 2011

Arctic Monkeys brought their live show back to Central Park Summerstage last night (5/24) in support of their forthcoming LP Suck It and See, which Alex Turner told Vanity Fair was written mostly in NYC where he lives with his girlfriend (the album is out June 7 via Domino). They played a hits-heavy set with a pretty even mix of material off all four albums. More about how they put together their setlist (which is listed below) at NY Mag.

Fellow UK band The Vaccines opened the show. More pictures from the NYC show are in this post.

Arctic Monkeys appear on Letterman tomorrow night (5/26), the same night they play Detroit. They just played on Jools Holland earlier this month, performing four tracks off the new album. Videos from that below.

They also recently filmed a video for the bluesy sludge track “Don’t Sit Down Cause I’ve Moved Your Chair.” The psychedelic video, complete with swirling colors and blurred images of the band playing, was directed by Focus Creeps and shot in the band’s hometown of Sheffield.
