They’re baaaaack. In case you missed the announcement, Arctic Monkeys will headline Glastonbury Festival this year — 28 June, Friday. 

Also, how great is this lineup?

Alex Turner to appear on new QOTSA album

Well, this album just keeps getting bigger and bigger. With Dave Grohl contributing to the drums and the likes of Elton John, Jake Shears and Trent Reznor having already confirmed their involvement, now Sheffield’s golden boy has joined the ranks to appear on ‘…Like Clockwork’. Wow. This album is going to be huuuuuuuuuuuuge.

Wicked.

Looks like we’ll have this once again: Miles Kane will support Arctic Monkeys on their performances in Italy

• 10 July - Rock In Roma (Rome)
• 11 July - Piazza Castello (Ferrara)

Arctic Monkeys for Benicassim 2013

NOTE: still UNconfirmed but if this isn’t legit it’d be the most reasonable/boring hoax ever.

I believe it as close to 100% as possible without actual confirmation. Go buy your tickets

Again, still unconfirmed.

BUT. Europe in the summer is sounding better and better every passing day…

seriously though. if that’s a fake, then i pity the sorry bastard who took the time to do it.  he either dropped out of Hoax School or somehow failed to learn (what i assume is) the golden rule of hoaxing: Make It Interesting or Make It Controversial  

i just sat here for 5 minutes trying to imagine ways that this (if fake) could be less interesting or less controversial…  and failed miserably. can’t do it.  know what? 

fuck it, i’m confirming it. boom. 

and here’s the inevitable NME blurb

UNOFFICIAL FAN TWITTER ACCOUNT ARCTICMONKEYSUS UNOFFICIALLY CONFIRMS UNCONFIRMED FESTIVAL APPEARANCE, COULD POSSIBLY BE A LIAR

and the inevitable followup NME blurb  for good measure

 MATT HELDERS’ OFFICIAL MUM OFFICIALLY CONFIRMS PREVIOUSLY UNHEARD OF FESTIVAL APPEARANCE, ISN’T A LIAR

SEXY UPDATE: this flyer is the real thing. Arctic Monkeys will headline for Benicassim 2013 🍹

boom boom pow

Alright, can anyone spare a couch for me to crash this summer? Festival hopping doesn’t sound so bad.
