U2 has released a new single, “Street of Dreams.” It’s the first song from an upcoming studio album that the band has not yet announced.
The band also put out a video for the track. They filmed it in May near Plaza Santo Domingo in Mexico City. Heavy rain and thunder hit during the shoot and knocked out a generator. Fans still gathered to watch. The band and crew took shelter in a nearby apartment, and the resident allowed them to film from the balcony.
This will be U2’s first full album in nine years. Their last full record, Songs of Experience, came out in December 2017. They did release two EPs this year: Days of Ash in February and Easter Lily in April.
The new music arrives in a milestone year for U2. In September the band will mark 50 years since they formed after Larry Mullen Jr. put a notice on a Dublin schoolboard looking for musicians. Fans will be watching closely for more news and tour plans.
