Arctic Monkeys made their first post-pandemic live outing last night at Zorlu PSM in Istanbul, Turkey.

It was the first of two shows in the city and included a very rare performance of Potion Approaching, the Humbug album track aired along side much firmer live favourites such as Brianstorm, 505 and I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor, all bookended by the riff-tastic 2010s pair of Do I Wanna Know? and R U Mine?.




The show begins a month of European festival appearances for the band with Reading/Leeds coming up at the end of August.
