00:02 - Tonight, Arctic Monkeys return to the Pyramid Stage
00:11 and are set to complete a rare Glastonbury Festival hat trick
00:14 headlining for an epic third time.
00:16 Their Glastonbury journey began in 2007
00:25 when the fresh-faced lads from Sheffield
00:27 made their debut and fast-tracked right to the top,
00:30 having only released two albums
00:31 and were just 21 years old.
00:33 The set was packed with hits from Mercury Prize winning
00:44 Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not,
00:46 as well as their number one follow-up,
00:48 Favorite Worst Nightmare.
00:49 - Like all them were there and seemed very excited
00:56 and that, and like all those mates are here and stuff
00:59 and it was just like, it's only gonna happen once,
01:01 that and it, you know what I mean?
01:03 - But fear not, Alex, the Arctic's crowd-pulling power,
01:06 along with another pair of number one albums,
01:08 would see them return triumphant
01:09 to top the bill again in 2013.
01:12 The band were on the cusp of releasing
01:23 their seminal fifth record, A.M.
01:26 ♪ Falling back to you ♪
01:29 ♪ Never thought I'd fall in love with you ♪
01:32 ♪ You're my dream ♪
01:34 ♪ Like I always do ♪
01:36 - Having relocated to LA to record
01:37 the multi-platinum selling album,
01:39 the band returned to Glastonbury,
01:41 having traded in their jeans and jumpers
01:43 with Alex Turner opting for a look
01:45 that channelled his inner Elvis.
01:47 The Yorkshire natives had achieved superstar status
01:53 and that came with a newfound confidence.
01:54 - Just like felt comfortable, really enjoyed ourselves.
01:58 Party time, you know?
02:01 - Fast forward 10 years and another two huge albums later,
02:05 the band are at the very top of their game.
02:07 Tonight, they return to the Pyramid stage
02:10 to complete their sensational hat trick
02:12 of headline performances, with Worthy Farm
02:14 getting to answer that question once again.
02:17 - The question is, are you mine, Glastonbury?
