As anticipation mounts for Arctic Monkeys kicking off their two huge gigs at London's Finsbury Park tonight (Friday 23 May), more photos of their live stage set up being prepared have emerged online. 

Alex Turner and co are set to play to over 80,000 fans across two nights in the legendary North London park, with support from Royal Blood, Miles Kane and Tame Impala. 

They're destined to be two of the biggest shows of the band's career, but little is known about the live show apart from a few photos of the stage that have appeared online. Now, we know that it will at least feature the band's massive and iconic 'AM' logo that featured at their Glastonbury performance last year and at recent arena shows:
