Former Arctic Monkeys bass player Andy Nicholson watched from backstage as the band played their final UK show of 2006. Nicholson was sacked by the band after refusing to go on their US tour earlier this year, but was invited to hang out with his former bandmates at the Leeds Festival on Sunday.
The band, who hail from nearby Sheffield, thrilled a massive crowd with hits including 'Mardy Bum', 'A Certain Romance' and 'I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor'.
Organisers estimated that the band had a bigger crowd than any other single act in the history of Leeds Festival.
They were followed on the main stage by Muse, who brough the event to a close in torrential rain.
However, festival-goers were warmed by a stunning set, which included 'Plug In Baby', 'Starlight' and a cover of Nina Simone's 'Feeling Good', which singer Matt Bellamy dedicated to the rain.
Earlier in the day, The Streets played in front of a rainbow and Futureheads, Dirty Pretty Things and The Cribs rocked the main stage.
A limited number of tickets for next year's Leeds Festival go on sale on Tuesday August 29 at 10am.
