Arctic Monkeys will release their first ever cover versions in August.

Their new single, ‘Leave Before The Lights Come On’, will feature the two covers, "one of which will be their version of an old song and the other a cover of a track by one of their favourite groups", a band source told NME.COM.

However, the exact tracks won't be confirmed until next week.

Arctic Monkeys release ‘Leave Before The Lights Come On’ on three track CD and two track 7” through Domino Records on August 14.

The Sheffield band are currently touring European festivals. They play T In The Park on July 9 before embarking on an Australasian tour in late July.
