i’ve been keeping tabs on the rumors about arctic monkeys being done, so i thought i would compile the ones i've seen here (as much as it hurts to see them all together)
the most recent update. this person also leaked the oasis reunion news before it was announced. no idea if they're otherwise reliable. they say their source is someone in the music industry.
worth noting that AM’s manager has confirmed a war child album x
a couple comments on the reddit post:
interesting that this person, in november 2024, also heard from someone who leaked the oasis news. (doesn't mean it's the same person, i'm sure many people in the industry knew about it.) x
nobodytoldme (strangedaysindeed on other sites) has some kind of connection and has provided reliable info for years. his response here was from january 2025 after AM dissolved their touring LLC, which has never been dissolved before. he also added this comment to his video of the end of the car tour:
previously the description said “this tour,” and he removed that. x x
unfortunately i didn’t see this in time to listen before bbc removed the interview. x
blakejp (arcticmonkeysus on other sites) also has connections and has provided reliable info for years. this response was after AM changed their recording LLC name from Bang Bang Recordings LTD to Bang Bang Music LTD in august 2025. i was very hopeful about this, but now i'm thinking it might have had to do with the song for the war child album. x
i think maybe this also could be about the song for war child, since it's not a new song, it's supposedly an old, unreleased song. x
none of this is confirmation of anything, but there's enough for me personally to believe there's probably some merit to the rumors. i doubt AM would make any kind of public announcement about being done, but i think they probably treated the last show in dublin as their final show, and at least for now don't have any intention of coming back. i'm holding out hope that even if that's how they currently feel, they could still change their minds. it also sounds possible that they're done touring, but not necessarily done making music. but maybe that’s too optimistic. (and again, this is all speculation.)
