It’s now 10 years ago Arctic Monkeys organised their very first own festival in the line of Don Valley Bowl ’11 and Finsbury Park ’14, at the peak of their UK popularity: 2 nights of 50,000 people at the grounds of Lancashire County Cricket Club, Manchester at 28 and 29 July 2007.

What was announced as an one-off show sold out instantly, with a second date going on sale the same morning. Tickets costed £28.50 plus booking fee and were limited to 4 tickets per person, all ages. Gates were open at 2pm. Support acts were hand picked by the band, consisting of the Japanese Beatles tribute act The Parrots, The Coral, Amy Winehouse and Supergrass.

Alex Turner watching The Coral’s support slot from a skybox with Miles Kane’s then Little Flames (later The Rascals) band members Greg Mighall (left) and Joe Edwards (right).

NME, who obviously often steers away from using hyperboles, branded the event “1990 Spike Island, 1996 Knebworth, 2007 Old Trafford”.

Even sour grapes The Guardian reviewed it as: “In the Britpop era, Oasis overreached themselves by playing Knebworth and subsequently burst their bubble, but there are no such problems for Arctic Monkeys. As thousands surge towards the stage for Britain’s hottest band, Fluorescent Adolescent demonstrate what a stadium pop experience should sound like.” (https://www.theguardian.com/music/2007/jul/30/popandrock.arcticmonkeys)

And a mid-00’s UK rock festival wasn’t a complete experience without some drama. The event was overcrowded, resulting in fights and crowd crushes, making the band having to put the second night to a halt 4 songs in due to security measures. Also, the event was severely understaffed and under facilitated, resulting in overly long traffic, parking and beer queues, but especially toilet lines so long the crowd decided to take measures into their own hands, resulting in The Sun branding the Old Trafford cricket ground “Old Yellow Pitch”, after cricket players complained of a “diabolic smell” when the sports season started a few weeks later (http://www.gigwise.com/news/36590/old-yellow-pitch-arctic-monkeys-flood-cricket-ground-with-piss), some audience members still traumatised 5 years after the fact (https://www.theguardian.com/music/musicblog/2012/jul/03/stone-roses-wee-problem#comment-16975496, comment section by “floyd05”).

Of course, that wasn’t all, on the first night there was also a sound cut during the first instrumental chorus of ’Balaclava’, with the crowd chanting “you’re not singing any more!”, a chant often used by supporters of a team to rub something in at the other team’s fans: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sd–i1neZsg

They came on to the ‘Rocky’ theme and went straight into the then brand new hit single ‘Fluorescent Adolescent’ as opener, which hit the UK charts at #5 that week, being welcomed to massive riff singalongs, a sign o’ the times: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAgOB4TCtRs

The backdrop on the sides were the familiar ‘Favourite Worst Nightmare’ “objects”.

A guy named Miles Kane of The Little Flames joined the band for the brand new B-side ‘Plastic Tramp’ plus ‘505’ for an at the time rare encore slot, 2 songs he played the lead guitar for on the studio cuts. Listen above to a rare soundboard recording of ‘Plastic Tramp’ from the second night. The full setlist:

Shane Meadows filmed parts of mockumentary Le Donk & Scor-zay-zee during the weekend. Paddy Considine portrayed Le Donk, a fictional roadie working for Arctic Monkeys, and at one point in between support slots he went up on stage, being booed off by 50,000+ movie “extras”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jNJ00-qfr0 (2007 potato cam audio alert).

The band and roadies themselves all feature in that 2009 movie, and this is a deleted scene with Nick O’Malley and Matt Helders: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-3KmyL4Bjc

Tomorrow a bit about the merch.
