Arctic Monkeys 'scared of arenas'

The Arctic Monkeys worried about playing arenas last year, according to the band's drummer.

Matt Helder also said that the indie group, who were named 'Best Live Band' at this year's NME Awards, never imagined that they would have enough fans for an arena tour.

"Obviously we were scared about doing arenas," he told NME. "I supposed a few years ago we would have never imagined doing an arena thing, but when it came down to it a lot of people want to see us so we had to give into it."

Helders added: "I suppose we pulled it off, it seemed to work well."
