Arctic Monkeys are releasing a live recording of their performance at the Royal Albert Hall in 2018, with proceeds going to War Child UK.

The Sheffield-formed rock band performed at the London venue on 7 June 2018, at the beginning of their Tranquility Base Hotel + Casino tour.

“On 7 June 2018 we played a very special show at London’s Royal Albert Hall,” the band said in a statement.

“All the proceeds from that memorable night were donated to War Child UK in support of the vital work they do protecting, educating and rehabilitating children who have experienced the trauma of conflict and the horror of war.”

They continued: “The situation that was bad in 2018 is now desperate and those children and their families need our help more than ever. To enable War Child UK to reduce their funding deficit and continue their valuable work, we are happy to be able to release a live album, recorded that evening at The Royal Albert Hall.”
