O2 Academy Leicester

Saturday, September 5, 2026 - O2 Academy, Leicester

• Antarctic Monkeys

Antarctic Monkeys close the O2 Academy Leicester 2026 run on 5 September, bringing their Arctic Monkeys tribute set back to the venue. Following August’s terrace party, this final stop returns the focus to guitar rock, channelling the hooks and sharp lyrics of the Sheffield band’s catalogue. The group are known for close attention to the originals’ sound and stagecraft, which plays well in the Academy’s layout. As the concluding show in a series that has swung from math rock to nu-metal tributes and festivals, Antarctic Monkeys round things off with a tightly honed, song-focused performance.
