The 16 most important gigs of Arctic Monkeys' career
From rubble to ritz, follow the long road from Sheffield to Finsbury Park
The Grape, Sheffield - 2003: Four spotty young Yorkshire lads stepped on stage for their first ever gig in a humble Steel City boozer, rattling through early tracks including early tracks 'Ravey Ravey Ravey Club' and 'Curtains Closed', as well as covers of 'Black Math' and 'Hotel Yorba' by The White Stripes, 'Teenage Kicks' by The Undertones, 'I'm Only Sleeping' by The Beatles and 'Harmonic Generator' by The Datsuns. Little did they know that megastardom was just around the corner.

From their days as four spotty Sheffield youngsters banging out White Stripes covers, to the Glastonbury-headlining rock and roll behemoths that they are today, the unstoppable rise of the Arctic Monkeys has been checkpointed by truly unforgettable and bewilderingly significant shows.
If you were at any of these gigs, then you're very lucky indeed. Here are the 16 most most important landmark gigs of Arctic Monkeys career so far.
