The Car Tour

[8] Other tracks debuted during their first leg of tour include "Mr. Schwartz", "Big Ideas" and "The Car", alongside singles, "There'd Better Be A Mirrorball" and "Body Paint".

[22][23] Hours before their set was supposed to take place, Glastonbury co-organiser, Emily Eavis, confirmed the band were ready to play that night.

[25] On their first show in Ireland the band was accompanied by a string section, which appeared on all the songs from The Car, but also on the tracks "505" and "Do I Wanna Know?

[27] They played both nights in Istanbul, and then shows at Burgas, Pula, and Prague in August 2022, while returning for select dates during the following spring leg of Europe.

[4][5] For their shows in Oceania they chose Australian bands Mildlife, in Melbourne and Brisbane, while, DMA's and The Buoys joined them in Sydney.

[35] Guitarist Carlos O'Connell told NME, "Arctic Monkeys are just so iconic obviously – they were so important when they came through, And I remember when we first heard Alex Turner was into the band, that felt like just insane."

[36] Lead singer Grian Chatten also commented, "Arctic Monkeys are playing better shows now than ever, Alex [Turner] completely owns his stage presence.

Smith praised the band's ability to blend their most commercial songs with the deep cuts, but noted a lack of crowd interaction.

The show only featured two songs from Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino, which Smith described as "a masterpiece that doesn’t always translate at festival headline sets."

[43] While reviewing one of their nights at Sidney Myer Music Bowl, Sian Cain of The Guardian said, "There are few frontmen touring today who lean into the theatrics of rockstardom as effortlessly as Alex Turner".

by Shamim Razavi of The Sydney Morning Herald, in that same review they were described as "two distinctly different bands: one the spiky, cheeky Northerner purveyors of rhythm-driven perfect post-pop punch; the other a mature, measured melodic act of perfect poise," united by "keen intelligence, both lyrically and musically, and the charismatic persona of frontman Alex Turner."

"[46] The group released the concert film Arctic Monkeys at Kings Theatre on their YouTube channel in October 2022.

The film was directed by Chappell and Zackery Michael, and features selected footage of the band, both backstage and performing, at their show on Brooklyn's Kings Theatre.
