Arctic Numpties — Debut Album 20th Anniversary Show

A tribute show by Yorkshire act Arctic Numpties, who perform Arctic Monkeys' debut album from start to finish, followed by a set of the Sheffield band's later hits, at Manchester Academy 3.

Arctic Numpties, a Yorkshire act, play the debut album of Sheffield band Arctic Monkeys from start to finish, marking twenty years since its release. The album is performed in full, and the programme then moves on to a second set of the best-known songs from the records that followed.

This is a tribute to Arctic Monkeys, not the original band. The music is rock and indie, and a Guardian review praised the crowd energy the group generates, describing crowd-surfing in the audience and noting the detailed study of the original band's sound that the performance reveals. The night suits listeners who want the first record played complete, alongside the later hits.

The show takes place at Manchester Academy 3, a Manchester venue that hosts concerts and shows.
