They’re back.

Arctic Monkeys have announced their return, confirming their first tour date of 2018.

Ahead of their much anticipated sixth album, which is expected later in the year, they have confirmed they will headline Firefly Festival alongside Eminem and Kendrick Lamar.

The festival takes place in The Woodlands of Delaware from June 14-17.

It’s already known that recording for their next album began at the end of last year.

According to NME, O’Malley spoke to motorcycle website For The Ride back in September, with the article stating that “Nick found time for the track day before recording began on the eagerly anticipated sixth album, started at a secret location in September. The new album will be out next year because ‘if it isn’t, we’ve got problems’.”
