Get ready to relive the raw energy of a seminal indie classic as Arctic Numpties, the acclaimed tribute act, are set to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Arctic Monkeys' groundbreaking debut album, Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not. This special performance will see the band faithfully recreate the entire album, track by track, offering fans a chance to experience the iconic tunes as they were originally intended. Following the full album playthrough, expect a set packed with other fan favourites and essential Arctic Monkeys anthems. The momentous occasion is scheduled to take place at Sub89 in Reading on Friday 20 November 2026. Doors will swing open at 7pm, with tickets available for £18.50. This is a must-see for any devotee of Sheffield's finest and a fantastic opportunity to mark two decades of a record that defined a generation.
Arctic Numpties will perform the full album Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not live from start to finish, followed by a second set featuring highlights from later Arctic Monkeys releases. The tribute band is known for their faithful renditions, with The Guardian noting their ability to recreate the energy of the original performances.
