Arctic Monkeys are back with details of their sixth album
Arctic Monkeys are back, revealing details of their highly anticipated follow-up to 2014’s AM.
Arctic Monkeys have finally revealed details of their sixth album, after months of speculation and a flurry of festival dates confirmed. The band took a step back after they finished touring in 2015 to work on other projects. In 2016 frontman Alex Turner, teamed up with long-time friend Miles Kane to release their second album together as The Last Shadow Puppets.

In a tweet that includes a teaser trailer, the band announced that their sixth album will be called Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino and is set to be released on May 11th.
