Arctic Monkeys are set to rock Carrow Road this week, joining some of the music world's top performers to have graced the stadium's turf.

Elton John and Lulu kicked off the big gigs at the home of Norwich City in 2005 when thousands packed the pitch for the big night.

Rod Stewart returned in 2016 and the following year there was huge excitement as Take That sold out two nights at the stadium.

The boy band were supported by All Saints and returned for another gig in May 2019, with Rick Astley and Lulu in support.

Irish boy band Westlife were due to perform in 2020 but had to cancel due to the pandemic.

 

But top performers returned to the home of the Canaries last summer as Killers rocked the Fine City with hits including When We Were Young and Mr Brightside.

That was followed a week later by pop royalty taking to the stage in NR1, as Elton John returned to belt out Rocket Man and Crocodile Rock as he began the UK leg of his epic Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour.
