Release Athens 2023 welcomes them Arctic Monkeys, on Wednesday July 19, at Nerou Square. The biggest British rock band of our time is coming to Athens this summer.
It’s been 20 years since four childhood friends from High Green, Sheffield decided to form a band that very quickly went on to take the world by storm. Alex Turner, Jamie Cook, Matt Helders, with Nick O’Malley since 2006, have seen their fame grow by word of mouth, and after the first demos released freely on the internet they were slow to end up in the arms of the iconic Domino Records.
In October 2005, they released their first single, ‘I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor’. An anthem for an entire generation, it went straight to the top of the UK charts and was the ultimate precursor to the massive career of a band that would in the following years become the biggest indie rock name of the 21st century.
Their brilliantly titled debut, ‘Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not’ (2006), broke all the sales counters in its first week of release and swept every possible award by the end of the year. Their second LP, Favorite Worst Nightmare, established them for good, leading them to headline Glastonbury and two legendary sold out shows in Manchester, which NME described as “the gigs of a generation”. The sequel was equally impressive.
The albums that followed, as well as the brand new ‘The Car’ – established Arctic Monkeys as one of the biggest names on the world music scene of the last 20 years, both creatively and commercially (with over 25 million sales and 30 million digital followers worldwide), highlighting Alex Turner as the most talented lyricist and charismatic frontman of his generation.
On Wednesday July 19, the Arctic Monkeys of the unsurpassed “505”, “RU Mine?”, “Do I Wanna Know?”, “Star Treatment”, “Why’d You Only Call Me When You’re High?” and “Fluorescent Adolescent”, among many others, will take to the stage of Nerou Square for a night that will be the ultimate musical date of the year.
