Technical problems forced Arctic Monkeys offstage for ten minutes in Poland.
Arctic Monkeys were beset by a technical hitch when they played a comeback gig yesterday (July 2nd).
The Sheffield band were playing the Open'er event in Poland, which is the first performance of the European summer season, when they were forced to leave the stage.
Until the problem, the set was going well as the band chose to play several new tracks to the audience, who responded by chanting the group's name between songs.
However, halfway through the gig the sound cut out from the main speakers, although the monitors continued to work - leaving the Monkeys to play to themselves for a while.
The band had to leave the stage for ten minutes while the problem was fixed and when they returned frontman Alex Turner told the audience: "I'm ever so sorry about that everybody. We didn't realise."
During the set, Arctic Monkeys allowed fans to hear new songs from upcoming third album Humbug, including Crying Lightning, Potion Approaching and Secret Door, as well as performing old favourites such as I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor and Brianstorm.
Last month, Oasis were forced to abandon the stage twice at Manchester's Heaton Park after experiencing problems with their generator.
