The Rolling Stones have been confirmed as headliners for the 2013 edition of the Glastonbury festival, which is set for the weekend of June 28-30 near Pilton, U.K. The Stones will headline Saturday night, with Arctic Monkeys (Friday) and Mumford and Sons (Sunday) joining them at the top of the bill.
Arctic Monkeys expect to release a 2013-themed concept album sometime in 2013.
Mumford and Sons are Rolling Stone magazine cover stars at long last.
According to the latest rumors, Arctic Monkeys are making plans for their next album -- in fact, they've reportedly already chosen the studio where the sessions will take place.
The opening ceremony for this year’s Olympic Games proved to be an impressive success overall – but U.S. music fans were upset by certain musical performances being cut from the NBC telecast, and they made sure to make their disappointment known.
Music and the Olympics have gone together for decades, and this year's opening ceremony -- a tribute to British artists that included performances by Arctic Monkeys, Paul McCartney, Mike Oldfield and others -- is no exception.
The 2012 Summer Olympics officially kicked into high gear in London this evening (July 27). The celebration began with the opening ceremony, which was flavored with plenty of hearty rock 'n' roll, including a high-octane, unforgettable performance by the Arctic Monkeys. The band performed their chart-topping song 'I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor' along with their cover of the Beatles' 'Come Together.'
-- The Arctic Monkeys may be gearing up to perform at the Olympics opening ceremony tomorrow in London, England. Rumors of their appearance at the upcoming ceremony surfaced last month and were reinforced by a recent photo posted to Twitter, in which the band's frontman, Alex Turner, is apparently rehearsing for the event.
Jamie Cook, the guitarist for Arctic Monkeys, is engaged. NME is reporting that his girlfriend, model Katie Downes, accepted his marriage proposal.
Arctic Monkeys have had a busy 2012 so far, touring around the world with the Black Keys in support of last year's 'Suck It and See' album. The band has previously said that they will not rehash their debut record, 2006's 'Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not,' and have opened up about what their fifth disc will sound like.
Some bands stick to the same formula when they're churning out album after album. They follow the rule of "if it's not broken, why fix it?" Arctic Monkeys don't believe in that philosophy and never plan to revisit their debut release, 'Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not.'
