Meanwhile, Primavera is set to return to Barcelona across two weekends in 2022.

The festival’s line-up includes The Strokes, Tame Impala, Lorde, Dua Lipa, Megan Thee Stallion, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and many more acts.

In addition, the festival is running indoor gigs to bridge the gap between the two weekends with appearances from Beck, Disclosure, Jamie xx and others.

News that Arctic Monkeys will play the inaugural LA event follows recent confirmation of several 2022 festival appearances as well as a European tour.

The band’s drummer Matt Helders revealed recently that the group’s upcoming seventh album – the follow-up to 2018’s ‘Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino’ – was “pretty much” finished and is likely to arrive ahead of the summer shows.
