Ivo Graham: Twenty Years of Whatever

Ivo Graham hosts a preposterously nostalgic evening featuring the Arctic Monkeys debut, played and bellowed along to in full, on the twentieth anniversary of its release. 

 Act one: a scene-setting buffet of early noughties indie bangers. 

 Act two: the era-defining 40 minutes and 56 seconds of Whatever, from the snarling assault of View From The Afternoon to the emotional climax of A Certain Romance. 

 Act three: a chronological romp through the two decades since, from the latter incarnations of the band themselves (heavy on AM: light on Tranquillity Base) to the musical world as it evolved around them. A sickeningly emotional dive into the past, featuring guest DJs, wilfully niche archive footage, and impassioned speeches raging against the merciless and relentless passage of time. Do believe the hype.
