Arctic Monkeys to release their next single for Charity.
The band will sell Crying Lightning through Oxfam shops only, the first time the charity has sold a new release single since 1984's Do They Know It's Christmas.
The limited 7" track will cost £2.99, and all proceeds will go to Oxfam. The single will be on sale at the charity's 700 UK shops from August 17.
It also features a cover of the Nick Cave track Red Right Hand as a B-side and comes with a download code for fans to get a free MP3 version.
Arctic Monkeys are also encouraging fans who go and buy a copy from their local Oxfam shop, to take along any unwanted albums or singles to help the charity continue to raise funds.
