Faris Rotter, the band's frontman, told BBC 6Music about the offer from the Sheffield stars.
He explained: "We had our own show booked and we're not going to say to our fans, sorry we've got a bigger date somewhere, see you later. We wouldn't do that."
Rotter told how they got regular offers from big hitters: "We get support offers from all kinds of bands. My Chemical Romance asked us another week, we couldn't do that because we were in America. It's funny the kind of bands that are into us."
The singer added the decision was not a reflection of how much he liked the Arctic Monkeys: "They've used the same producer as we did, so I certainly like their new stuff a lot more than I liked their old stuff."
