New U2 album on the way (finally)

U2 frontman Bono has provided a fresh update on the next U2 album and confirmed they are in the process of making a new record.

It’s been eight years since U2 released their last album, Songs of Experience, the longest time in the band’s history between full-length records. Ahead of their MSG Sphere residency in Las Vegas beginning in 2023, they shared the single ‘Atomic City’, but no album has followed.

“Well, they’re right,” he said of fans becoming restless about new music in a new interview with Rolling Stone magazine, before providing an update. 

The singer continued: “And nostalgia is not to be tolerated for too long, but sometimes you’ve got to deal with the past in order to get to the future and to the present. To get back to now is our desire. Get back to this moment we’re in. We’ve been recording. And it sounds like future to me. We had to go through some stuff, and we’re at the other end of it.”
