Arctic Monkey's comeback is bigger than ever as it was announced that they will headline one of the biggest festivals next year; where are they headed amid their 2023 tour?

According to NME, the four-piece band will be performing at the last day of Rock Werchter Festival, which will take place from June 29 to July 2, 2023.

For the first day of the Belgian music event, Stromae would be headlining the show. For fans who wish to have early access to tickets, pre-sale are currently available on Live Nation Belgium's official website.

Concertgoers have a chance to snag tickets at an earlier date if they register on the page before October 27. Passes will be available for the public starting October 29.

The recent news comes a month after rumors began swirling about Arctic Monkeys' return to Glastonbury Festival 2023, which will be on June 21 to 25 at Somerset's Worthy Farm.

The last time they performed at the famed Pyramid Stage was in 2013.

Glastonbury Festival Rumored Headliners

According to an insider who spoke to The Sun, the group are already preparing for their headline set. "It is really special for them to be doing a hat-trick on that stage and it is something they have wanted to do for a while," they shared.

Eminem is also one of the rumored headliners for next year. If ever the rumors are true, this would be the iconic rapper's first time performing at the event.

"Eminem is one of the greatest rappers on the planet and to have him down on the farm would be incredible," the insider added.

Aside from the two, Daily Mail UK reported that The Spice Girls were "in advanced negotiations" to perform along with Victoria Beckham.

The fashion guru hasn't joined her bandmates since their performance at the closing ceremony of the 2012 Olympics in London, United Kingdom.

The four remaining members, Geri Halliwell, Melanie C, Mel B, and Emma Bunton, have reunited for a tour in 2019.

As of this writing, neither of the music acts mentioned above has confirmed whether they're going to perform in Glastonbury next year or not.

Arctic Monkeys have recently announced their tour across the United States that will begin on August 25, 2023, at The Armory in Minnesota.
