O2 Academy Leicester

Saturday, September 5, 2026 - O2 Academy, Leicester

• Antarctic Monkeys
• Last Pioneers

Antarctic Monkeys bring their Arctic Monkeys tribute show to O2 Academy Leicester on 5 September 2026, opening a run of gigs at the venue. Known for mirroring the Sheffield band’s setlists and energy, they deliver indie rock favourites in detail, from early anthems to later hits. The Last Pioneers join the bill in support, adding another guitar-driven set to the night. With both acts focused on hook-heavy rock, this performance leans into big choruses and packed-room singalongs, using the Academy’s main room production to push the songs’ dynamics hard.
