Arctic Monkeys kick off their first headlining UK tour of 2006 in Nottingham tonight (April 13) - and NME.COM will be there.

The tour has been one of the year's hottest tickets, and with the band expected to debut new tracks from their forthcoming EP 'Who The Fuck Are Arctic Monkeys' (out on April 24) you won't want to miss out on what they're up to.
