Arctic Monkeys just announced a bunch of festival shows

After playing coy about their intentions to release a new album later this year, it seems that Arctic Monkeys will be returning in 2018 after announcing a ton of festival shows for this summer.

So far, the Sheffield outfit have been confirmed for Primavera, Sziget, TRNSMT, Øya Festival, Best Kept Secret, Rock Werchter, Open'er, Southside, Hurricane, Rockwave, NOS Alive, and Way Out West, with Mad Cool and Flow Festival both confirming the band earlier today.

But with Glastonbury Festival not set to go ahead later this year, many are now speculating that Reading & Leeds will be the band's major UK destination for the summer.
