Arctic Monkeys have announced two massive shows at London's Finsbury Park for May 2014 - supported by Miles Kane, Tame Impala and Royal Blood.

The news follows the speculation that arose when frontman Alex Turner told Gigwise at the Mercury Awards that the the band had some special gigs planned for next year. Watch our video interview with Turner above. 

"I wanna do some big shows next summer as well, you know we're not going to do Glastonbury again, but it'd be nice to something of our own perhaps next summer," he said. "Maybe an outdoor show, maybe an underwater show."

Arctic Monkeys plus special guests Tame Impala, Miles Kane and Royal Blood will play London's Finsbury Park on Friday 23 and Saturday 24 May, 2013.

Tickets go on sale at 10am on Friday 22 November, 2013. For more information visit Gigwise gig tickets.
