Arctic Monkeys have extended their Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino tour into 2019 with news of gigs in Australia and New Zealand.
As their prolonged stay in North America draws to a close with an appearance at the Voodoo Festival in New Orleans, an Antipodean tour has been scheduled for February and March 2019, heading to arenas in Perth, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Auckland.
“Throughout their career, it’s always been easy to be either for or against the Arctic Monkeys; their debut – along with that of The Libertines – cast British guitar music in a profile few others have this century, whilst counter to this both Humbug and the playful chimera Suck It And See represented for most trials of patience and panning for gold amongst a carousel of ideas,” Live4ever’s Tranquility Base review opens.
“It’s been five years since the quartet’s relatively hang up free AM, a record which, based on the evidence of Tranquillity Base Hotel And Casino, was not only a career full stop but also a thick underlining in pen.”
