Arctic Monkeys 3rd Album Due In August

Arctic Monkeys are pencilling-in an August release date for their third album, if all goes to plan.

The band are still wrapping-up work on the record, which features production from Queens Of The Stone Age frontman Josh Homme.

Drummer Matt Helders told BBC 6 Music that all of the songs set to be included on the follow-up to 'Brianstorm' have been recorded, but the mixing process is only half-done.

Although Helders did admit that the band "haven't picked titles or anything. It's just a case of tying it up now, picking what order everything's in."

Earlier today it was announced that Matt - along with Toddla T and Jon McClure of Reverend and The Makers - were staging a four-day music festival in Sheffield.

Unfortunately Arctic Monkeys won't be performing at the event because of other commitments.
