LONDON, April 6 — English rock band Arctic Monkeys have announced that their long-awaited sixth album is due for release in May, bearing the title Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino.

Album buzz has been building for months, spurred on by the group's announcements that it will perform a series of European and North American tour dates over the coming months, including a headlining gig at Lollapalooza.

Now the news has broken: Their much-hyped album will get its release on May 11, just days after that tour gets under way.

The album is currently available for pre-order, with options to include a special-edition vinyl and CD.
