Arctic Monkeys: Last chance to see Sheffield band ahead of world tour finale in Dublin and Belfast 

It’s been a heck of a journey for Sheffield’s Arctic Monkeys, but the band have announced a final run of arena shows in Ireland later this year to mark the end of their world tour.

The tour was launched in support of their latest album The Car and kicked off last year on August 9 in Istanbul. After more than 100 shows across North America, South America, Europe, Asia, and Oceania, the tour will come to a close on October 19.

For the fans that missed the group when they returned to Sheffield earlier this year, this will mark one more opportunity to see them. Arctic Monkeys will play three headline dates at Dublin’s Arena on October 15, 17 and 19, as well as a one-off show at Belfast’s SSE Arena on October 16.

Miles Kane, solo artist and the co-frontman of the Last Shadow Puppets, is set to appear as a special guest support act at each of the new dates.

Arctic Monkeys were forced to cancel a concert at Marlay Park in Dublin earlier this summer after frontman Alex Turner came down with acute laryngitis.

Previous ticket holders will be given 72-hour priority pre-sale access starting at 9am on Friday, August 25 to purchase tickets. All remaining tickets will be made available for sale at 9am on Tuesday, August 29 by visiting the TicketMaster website here.

Alex Turner and co returned to Sheffield in June for two homecoming shows at Hillsborough Park. Fans hailed it “the best ever”, crammed with the greatest hits from across their glittering career, including Brianstorm, Snap Out Of It, Fluorescent Adolescent and Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High?
