Arctic Monkeys to offer 'Golden Ticket' with New Single

Willy Wonka may be the last person you think of when somebody mentions the Arctic Monkeys to you, but all that is about to change. Yes, in a bizzarre turn of events, the Sheffield indie rock quartet seem to be taking a leaf out of the fictional chocolateers book by giving away special 'Golden Tickets' to their London gigs with thier release of 'Crying Ligtning' on 7".

 



From today, fan's who pick up the record from Oxfam will not only be able to listen to the hearty northern brit-pop found on the vinyl, but also have the chance to win a trip to Leed's Festival to watch the bands headline slot thaks to codes contained within the record's sleeve. We're not sure if winners will be subjected to a trial of tempting situations where the weaker ones will get their commupances. Actually we're not even sure if you'll get any chocolate.
