Arctic Monkeys announce new London gig
Arctic Monkeys are to play at the O2 Brixton Academy in London on Wednesday, August 26.

The gig will be the first time the 'Crying Lightning' rockers have performed in the UK since December 2007.

Tickets for the performance will only be allocated to members of the band's mailing list and fans have until midnight tomorrow to register. Successful applicants will be notified on the following day and tickets will be limited to two per person.

The show is believed to be a warm-up for the group's headline slot at Reading and Leeds Festival, which takes place on August 28 to August 30.
