There is a second Help album on its way and the first taster of it has been released – a new Arctic Monkeys track, their first since 2022.

HELP(2), as it’s styled, is out on March 6 and comes over thirty years since the original Help album, which raised over £1.25 million for children in war zones. Released at the very peak of Britpop, it featured an array of big names – Blur, Oasis, The KLF, Manic Street Preachers, Sinead O’Connor, Stone Roses, Paul Weller, Paul McCartney and Radiohead, all of whom recorded their contributions during just one day: September 4, 1995.
