Arctic Monkeys have given clues as to which songs they may be playing at their summer 2011 shows by making their live comeback in Europe earlier this month.
Alex Turner and co played their first shows of the year at Stockholm‘s Cirkus venue on May 5 then at Sentrum Scene in Oslo on May 6. They are set to kick off their US tour in Washington DC on May 17.
In Stockholm the band played four new songs from their forthcoming fourth album ‘Suck It And See’: ‘Brick By Brick’, ‘Don’t Sit Down ‘Cause I’ve Moved Your Chair’, ‘The Hellcat Spangled Shalalala’ and ‘That’s Where You’re Wrong’.
In Oslo they played five songs from the album: ‘Library Pictures’, ‘Brick By Brick’, ‘Don’t Sit Down ‘Cause I’ve Moved Your Chair’, ‘Black Treacle’ and ‘That’s Where You’re Wrong’.
In Stockholm they revisited five songs from their 2006 debut album, ‘Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not’, then played four songs from that album in Oslo.
The band’s first scheduled UK gigs of 2011 are their two shows at the Sheffield Don Valley Bowl, set for June 10 and 11.
