SINGAPORE – Acclaimed British band Arctic Monkeys sold out all 10,000 tickets to their concert at the Singapore Indoor Stadium on Feb 28 soon after they went on sale on Monday. Ticket prices ranged from $108 to $248.
The show is the band’s first concert in Singapore. According to organiser Lushington Entertainments, there are no plans to add another performance, but more tickets might be released after production details are firmed up.
Fronted by singer-songwriter Alex Turner and formed in 2002, the quartet are known for their constantly evolving sound that ranges from indie rock to baroque pop.
The band have won seven Brit Awards, including for British Group in 2007, 2008 and 2014. Their 2006 debut album – Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not – earned them a Mercury Prize, one of the most prestigious awards for music in Britain.
All their albums, except latest release The Car (2022), went to No. 1 on the British charts. A track from The Car, There’d Better Be A Mirrorball, has been nominated for Best Alternative Music Performance at the 2023 Grammy Awards.
The show will be part of a larger Asian tour that includes stops in cities such as Hong Kong, Jakarta and Tokyo. The band will also perform all over Europe, Australia and North America in 2023.
