Reviews / Live

The Presets were who the people came to see and they sufficiently rocked the room for 90 minutes.

Implants set the tone for the day with some Strung Out guesting as band members hopped from set to set and even a tour manager joining Unwritten Law at one point.

And what’s most exciting is: you get the sense there’s no shortage of creative juices on planet Arctic Monkeys. Their longevity is ensured.

They do us right by running through the song proper a final time, the drama giving the night some unexpected theatrics that arguably were more memorable than the last stanza of songs.

Sounding like a big beautiful blend of Tame Impala and Wolfmother, live they are nothing short of compelling.

One punter is overheard telling her girlfriend, “I think that was the best gig I’ve been to.” This is well-deserved praise for the band booker.

The band left everyone really chuffed about the performance and people in the crowd yelled words of love to the band before they left the stage.
