Indie stars Arctic Monkeys have revealed that their third record will be called Humbug, with an August release date pencilled in for the album.

Recorded in the Mojave Desert and Los Angeles with Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age, the album also saw the group work with Worst Nightmare producer James Ford again.

The Sheffield band also confirmed that tracks set to appear on Humbug include My Propeller, Potion Approaching and Crying Lightning.

In addition, it will hit record store shelves on August 24th, ahead of their performance at the Leeds and Reading festivals.

Over the summer, Arctic Monkeys will also be busy touring the world, appearing at venues in New Jersey, Sweden, Chicago, Denmark and France.

Earlier this month, Juliette Lewis revealed that her upcoming Terra Incognita album will include songs such as Romeo, Fantasy Bar, Hard Lovin' Woman, Female Persecution and Noche Sin Fin.

She will also play in Manchester, London, Bristol and Portsmouth to support the record.
