By 2012 , Arctic Monkeys were based in Los Angeles , with Turner and Helders sharing a house . Arctic Monkeys toured the US as the support act for The Black Keys in early 2012 . While they had previously opened for Oasis and Queens of the Stone Age at one-off shows , it was the band 's first time to tour as a supporting act . They released " R U Mine ? " as a standalone single in preparation for the tour , with Turner 's new girlfriend , Arielle Vandenberg , appearing in the music video . Faced with winning over indifferent audiences , Turner , now sporting a " rockabilly-inspired quiff " , began to change his stage persona . Brian Hiatt of '' Rolling Stone '' noted of his " newfound showmanship " : " He puts his guitar down to strut and dance , drops to his knees for solos when he does play , flirts shamelessly with the female fans . " Later that year , Arctic Monkeys performed " I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor " and a cover of " Come Together " by The Beatles at the 2012 London Summer Olympics opening ceremony . In early 2013 , Turner provided backing vocals for the Queens of the Stone Age song " If I Had a Tail " and played bass guitar on " Get Right " , a Miles Kane B-side . Arctic Monkeys headlined Glastonbury Festival for a second time in June
