Mark Kelly, managing director for the stadium, said: “We are thrilled to be able to announce the first of our concerts for next year.

“Building off the success of our 2019 Summer Series and this year’s performances by Elton John and The Killers, it is brilliant to be able to confirm such a huge international act as the Arctic Monkeys.

“For them to kick off their UK tour with us first is a huge honour and we can’t wait to do them proud.”

Tickets go on general sale on September 30 at 9am.
