Arctic Monkeys performed a rousing 20-song, sold-out performance in New York last night.

Taking to the stage at the city’s 3,000 capacity Hammerstein Ballroom, the band performed a string of hits from both their albums – their 2006 debut ‘Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not’ and new record ‘Favourite Worst Nightmare’.

“Nice to see you’re on your feet already,” Alex Turner told crowd in the balcony section as they ditched their seats to dance for the entire show.
