With a new album expected in the not too distant future, Arctic Monkeys are beginning to fill up their summer calendar with a number of live performances. With the exception of an appearance at Delaware’s Firefly Music Festival, all the confirmed dates come in the form of European festival appearances. They’re set to play Madrid’s Mad Cool Festival, Barcelona’s Primavera Sound, The Netherlands’ Best Kept Secret Festival, Portugal’s NOS Alive Festival, and Belgium’s Rock Werchter, among several other notable events. You can see the as-yet-announced itinerary below.

Arctic Monkeys last took the stage in November 2014 behind their fifth studio album, AM.
