Arctic Monkeys - Yorkshire's finest will be headlining the festival for the first time and will no doubt want to make the Leeds leg extra special for the home fans. With the excellent third album 'Humbug' in the can, 2009 sees a more confident and hirsute Monkey's taking to the stage and their new found heaviness will no doubt seep into the old classics like 'View From The Afternoon' and 'Brianstorm'. The perfect festival band, Arctic Monkeys will no doubt finish their set with a rousing '505'.
