Arctic Monkeys - Reading Festival

Arctic Monkeys recently breezed into Reading Festival, with the Sheffield band unveiling tracks from their new album 'Humbug'.

Recorded with Josh Homme, the new album has received some stunning reviews. Retaining the youthful swagger that made them so intoxicating, Arctic Monkeys have matured somewhat showing traces of side project Last Shadow Puppets.

Released last week, 'Humbug' is undoubtedly one of the year's most talked about albums. Taking to the stage at this year's Reading Festival Arctic Monkeys had a huge amount of pressure on their shoulders, but from the beginning seemed like men on a mission.

Racing through their iconic early singles Arctic Monkeys received a huge ovation from the Reading festival crowd, dropping in highlights from their latest album.

Watch the action unfold...
