Arctic Monkeys suffered a technical hitch at their festival comeback show in Poland.

The group's set at the Open'er festival was halted halfway through their single 'Fluorescent Adolescent' when the main speakers cut out. An announcer addressed the crowd and apologised, before starting an "Arctic Monkeys!" chant.

Ten minutes later, the band returned to play the remainder of the set. "I'm everso sorry about that, everybody," said singer Alex Turner.

The group's first festival show of the summer included four new tracks from their forthcoming Humbug album; new single 'Crying Lightning', 'Pretty Visitors', 'Potion Approaching' and 'Secret Door'.

The band headline the Reading and Leeds festivals in August.
