U2 set to release first album in almost a decade as fans get a first glimpse of new single

Island Records have announced the release of a brand new track titled "Street of Dreams" from Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Jr.

It is the first single to be taken from the band’s yet-to-be announced new studio album, U2’s first in nine years, due for release later this year.

According to the band's publicist, the music video for "Street of Dreams" was shot in Mexico City in May, where the superstar group also attended the 2026 Street Child World Cup Finals Tournament at Parque Ecológico Lago de Texcoco.

The Dubliners were forced to shoot the music video on the balcony of a Mexican family's home after bad weather blew out their generator.

'The video shoot near Plaza Santo Domingo drew a huge crowd of fans despite inclement weather, with thunder and rain unexpectedly causing a generator to crash and a local family welcoming the four band members into their apartment to film on the balcony,' a statement reads.

The new track follows two EPs from the band earlier this year. The six-track Days Of Ash was released on Ash Wednesday in February, and featured new songs American Obituary, The Tears Of Things, Song Of The Future, Wildpeace, One Life At A Time and Yours Eternally, which featured Ed Sheeran and Taras Topolia.

The single comes ahead of this September when the band will celebrate 50 years since their formation after Larry posted a handwritten note which read 'Drummer seeks musicians to form band’ on the school noticeboard at Dublin’s Mount Temple Comprehensive.
