Kan niet wachten tot dit persoon dat DVD-tje af heeft. Wellicht trakteer ik dat persoon nog wel op een biertje in Londen ofzo.

Five things to expect from Arctic Monkeys' Finsbury Park shows
What's going to go own at their historic outdoor gigs?

Today, Arctic Monkeys announced their biggest non-festival UK headline shows to date with two nights at London's massive Finsbury Park next May. After a show-stopping and pretty historic headline set at Glastonbury this summer, one can't help but wonder where Alex Turner and co go from here?

With over 80,000 people to entertain over two nights, this is definitely one of the biggest challenges of their career. From four spotty lads from Yorkshire to indie rock's most dominant force, Arctic Monkeys have come a long way, but still have much to prove.

As Monkeys' fans around the country gear up to battle for tickets to the hottest event of 2014 so far, we take a look at what we should expect from Arctic Monkeys at Finsbury Park.

1. An epic (but modest) stage show

Arctic Monkeys are famed for having a 'no tricks' approach to music and playing live. There are no dubstep electro breakdowns, no dancing robots or daft lazer special effects. They just let the music do the talking without using props as a crutch. It's just pure rock n' roll entertainment. However with a capacity of over 40,000, Finsbury Park is going to demand something a little more grand than just a massive 'AM' in lights. Expect the Monkeys to use this occasion to put on something pretty epic, without being too extravagant.

2. Alex Turner: Rock God

There has been much speculation as to whether Yannis from Foals' dig at bands with 'Elvis impersonations' at the Q Awards last month was aimed at Alex Turner or not. Either way, as Turner steps up to the plate for the biggest non-festival headline gig of their career expect a lot of furled-lips, hip-shaking and hip-shaking. It's fair to say that Turner's newfound swagger and bravado will feed off the electricity of the Finsbury Park thousands. After all, the biggest band in the world need to be fronted by the biggest rock star in the world. Are we right?

3. All sides of the Monkeys embraced

Third album Humbug split opinion upon its release, due to the departure from scratchy disco indie to psychedelic desert rock. However, the band's evolution into an almighty rock n' roll beast since them has put the tracks into new context. Expect 'Cornerstone', 'Crying Lightning' and 'Pretty Visitors' to sound bigger and better than ever as the 40,000-strong Finsbury massive holler them back, while 'I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor' and 'When The Sun Goes Goes Down' sit perfectly in the context of a cannon of classics. They've surpassed trends to a fully-formed well-rounded rock phenomenon. The Monkeys' evolution is now complete, without compromise.

4. Special guests and collaborations

Alex Turner's Last Shadow Puppets partner Miles Kane popping up to guest on the brilliant set-closer of '505' has become somewhat of a tradition. With Kane supporting, it would be more than a little bit rude for it to not happen at Finsbury Park. Fingers crossed that they repeat their Glastonbury duet of 'Standing Next To Me' too. Also, it seems pretty likely that Bill Ryder-Jones will make an appearance as he has throughout the AM tour. Guest spots from fellow Steel City hero Richard Hawley and desert-botherer Josh Homme are less likely, but one can dream...

5. History is made

We recently interviewed DJ Zane Lowe and asked who our generation's Nirvana were - you know, that band whose sound defined a generation. His answer: Arctic Monkeys. AM is already a classic and marks the band's biggest and most ambitious assault on the music world - expect this tour to cement them as not only the biggest, but truly the best band in Britain. After their career-defining headlining spot at Glastonbury last year, expect Finsbury Park to be the moment that Arctic Monkeys rule the day and seize the throne as Britain's biggest band.

Welke? Nieuwste single? Da's 'One For The Road'.

Trouwens is veel mensen ontgaan dat deze clip weer is geschoten door Focus Creeps.

Zolang het systeem het houdt kan iedereen die klaar zit een kaartje kopen. Het is echt niet dat er 100.000 tickets verkocht worden binnen vijf minuten, daar gaan zeker enige uren overheen.

Eerst vriendin maar eens vragen of ze überhaupt meewil. Anders 'alleen', beviel in Sheffield ook prima

Morgen ook weer grote festivalaankondiging, zit echter niets bij voor ons, zal wel weer een mooie pro-shot opleveren. (Ik zei eerder "exclusieve festivalshow in Engeland", niet de UK ).

Speaking about their headline slot in a statement, the group said: "We are delighted to be playing T In The Park and look forward to a great night with our Scottish fans."

Festival Director Geoff Ellis also spoke about booking the band for the festival and said: "We're thrilled to announce Arctic Monkeys as our first headliners for T In The Park 2014. After this year's fantastic 20th year celebrations, we asked our audience who they'd like to see at next year's festival and Arctic Monkeys came top of the poll, so we're really pleased to be able to confirm them for T In The Park.

"When they take to the stage in Glasgow this week they'll prove exactly why they're one of the greatest live acts around, and I'm sure we can look forward to another phenomenal set at T In The Park," he added. "We have many more fantastic acts in store which well announce next year, and can't wait to see you all again in July."
