ARCTIC MONKEYS ANNOUNCE SECOND NEW
YORK CITY DATE
Upcoming Release of Second Single,
“Cornerstone”
“Three albums in, the lads
from northern England
continue to churn out spiky Britpop anthems.” Entertainment Weekly
“Consider the Monkeys still worthy of hot pursuit.” People
“Despite a vintage tilt and grimy crunch, we never leave the Arctic circle, thanks to the band’s customary tart
lyrics and springy melodies.” USA Today
The UK’s
Arctic Monkeys are heading
stateside this December and will be playing a second New York City show on December 10th at Terminal 5. Kicking off their North American tour on December
6th in Chicago, both the band’s D.C. and previously announced New York City date on
December 11th have already sold out. Tickets for the newly added date will be
on-sale this Friday, October 30th

In addition to the upcoming tour, the band are set to release “Cornerstone,” the second single from
their recent album Humbug
(Domino Records), which debuted at #1 on the UK charts. The
10" release will feature three new b-sides – “Catapult,” “Sketchead,” and “Fright Lined Dining Room” – and will be
available digitally on Tuesday, November 17th
and physically on Tuesday,
December 8th. You can watch the video of “Cornerstone,” which was directed by Richard
