The band added: “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 to reduce their funding deficit and continue their valuable work, we are releasing a live album, recorded on that evening. All proceeds will go direct to the charity.”

Re-live Arctic Monkeys’ huge Royal Albert Hall show with NME‘s photos of the show here.
Earlier this month, rumours of new Arctic Monkeys material began surfacing after drummer Matt Helders was pictured in a recording studios.
Images posted on Instagram by the photographer Andreas Neumann show Helders sitting behind a drum kit in a Los Angeles studio, surrounded by a selection of keyboards and amplifiers.
Neumann offered little context for the photo, but eagle-eyed fans noticed that he also tagged Arctic Monkeys’ Instagram account in the snap – prompting speculation that they could be back in the studio.
Arctic Monkeys’ last album was 2018’s ‘Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino’, which NME called “a product of searingly intelligent design” in a four-star review.
