Today’s the last night of Sziget 2022, so get your fill of great live sounds before 2023 comes around! Alex Turner and the Arctic Monkeys haven't been on stage in three years, so they're ready to go tonite on the Main Stage. Elsewhere, there’s rap from New York and west Belfast, masked tech house from Germany and electronica from LA.

Arctic Monkeys

It’s now 20 years since Alex Turner formed the Arctic Monkeys in Sheffield. Their consistency in all that time has been astonishing, the last studio album Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino veering off into new musical territory and still selling squillions. The current tour – Pula Arena tomorrow, then Reading, Leeds and beyond – represents their first live dates in three years, so expect plenty of energy and a few old favourites. Main Stage, 9.15pm
