The Arctic Monkeys will reportedly preview new material from their forthcoming third album early next year at a “secret” show.

Although the band is still putting the finishing touches on the as-yet-untitled album, The Sun is reporting that they will play new tracks from the forthcoming album at a New Zealand show next month.

The “secret” gig is set to place January 13 in Wellington.

A source told The Sun, “It was supposed to be a secret. The lucky few fans in Wellington were going to arrive thinking they were attending a little warm-up gig before the Big Day Out festival kicks off in Auckland on January 16. But, in fact, they will be the first to hear the new album. The lads have basically finished it. They just need to return to the studio to apply some finishing touches early next year.”

As we previously reported Alex Turner and Co. have been working with Queens Of The Stone Age frontman Josh Homme on the new album.
