Arctic Monkeys team up with former member

Ibiza Rocks played host to a Sheffield reunion last night (August 12) when Arctic Monkeys' Matt Helders teamed up with ex-bandmate Andy Nicolson to DJ.


Steel city preacher man Jon McLure also performed live with his band Reverend And The Makers outdoors on a microscope stage by the poolside at the island's pioneering indie/dance night.

Helders and Nicolson played two hip-hop heavy sets over the course of the night - the number one one external by the pool which started with House Of Pain's 'Jump Around', the second was indoors at the club's official aftershow and included Dead Prez's 'Hip-Hop', MIA's 'Galang' and 'Fix Up Look Sharp' by Dizzee Rascal.


Hundreds of holidaying British punters flocked to the Ibiza Rocks Hotel to watch The Rev, who was also supported by wide-any indie popsters The Click Click and Club NME DJs.

Ibiza Rocks continues next Tuesday (August 19) with The Streets playing live.
