Arctic Monkeys gave a track from their upcoming ‘Humbug’ album its live debut at All Points West this weekend.

The band performed Saturday evening (August 1) at Liberty State Park, in front of a crowd sporting bikini tops and sunglasses as opposed to the previous day’s soggy, poncho-clad audience.

In addition to older tracks such as ‘Brianstorm’, ‘This House Is A Circus’ and ’If You Were There, Beware’, the band previewed several tracks from ’Humbug’, including ‘Potion Approaching’ and ‘Cornerstone’, which frontman Alex Turner said was a special treat for the US audience.

“We’ve never played this one before, but you deserve it,” Turner quipped, and asked “Is everybody looking forward to Tool? That’s what I wanna know.”

The band’s 50-minute set included live favourites like ‘I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor’ and ‘Do Me A Favour’, closing out their set with new single ‘Crying Lightning’.

Arctic Monkeys played:

'Pretty Visitors'
'This House Is A Circus'
'Brianstorm'
'If You Were There, Beware'
'Potion Approaching'
