Favourite Worst Tribute (Arctic Monkeys Tribute feat. Favourite Worst Nightmare Era)

Fluorescent Adolescents pay homage to the era of Arctic Monkeys' second album Favourite Worst Nightmare, performed live and in its entirety by Australia's premier Arctic Monkeys tribute.

Favourite Worst Nightmare saw the band maturing from the raw and frenetic indie sound of their debut era to develop a layered, poetic, sound that has since defined their work.

Featuring high energy hits such as long-time set-opener Brianstorm, D is for Dangerous, and building from Teddy Picker and Do Me a Favour to the crescendo of 505. Plus, expect all the deep-cuts and B-sides of that era to greet you like a naughty friend.

Do yourself a favour, and don't miss this epic night of British indie-rock!
