Arctic Monkeys headline Glastonbury festival this Friday (June 28), performing on the opening day of the festival on the Pyramid Stage. Drummer Matt Helders has said that the band plan to “have a bit of fun” with their setlist at the festival on what will be the second time that the band have headlined the Pyramid Stage, following their appearance in 2007. “I’m prepared for what it entails in way, but I think in terms of preparation we can mould a different kind of setlist for it and have a bit more fun with it,” said Helders.
