U2 Previews New Song 'Street of Dreams' Ahead of Upcoming Album Release

U2 previewed their latest song, "Street of Dreams," with a clip from a new music video filmed in Mexico City.

In an official statement, the band said "Street of Dreams" will appear on their next studio album, which has not been formally announced and is expected for release later this year.

This will mark U2's first full-length album since "Songs of Surrender" in 2023, which reworked older tracks. Their last album of all-new material was "Songs of Experience," released in 2017. The band has also released two surprise EPs in the meantime.

Bono, the Edge and Adam Clayton performed "Street of Dreams" with Larry Mullen Jr. on top of a school bus decorated by Mexican artist Chavis M rmol. This was only Mullen's second major appearance since undergoing neck surgery, which forced him to miss the band's 2023-2024 Las Vegas residency, "U2:UV Achtung Baby Live at Sphere."

U2 shared a lyric from the new song on social media: "Justice an obsession, love is a procession down the street of dreams."

During Mullen's absence, Bram van den Berg filled in on drums for the Las Vegas shows. Van den Berg was also on stage when U2 was honored at the Ivor Novello Awards in London last summer. The band's two EPs were released around religious holidays: "Days of Ash" arrived on Ash Wednesday in February, and "Easter Lily" came out on Easter in April.

"It was difficult being away because of injury," Mullen told the BBC. "So I'm thrilled to be back in a creative environment, even if I'm not 100% there ... When I was away from the band, I missed it, but I didn't realize how much I missed it."

U2's run at Sphere in Las Vegas was originally set for five nights but expanded to 40 shows, with estimated revenue of $256 million. The band later released a concert film, "V-U2: An Immersive Concert Film at Sphere Las Vegas." U2 is not scheduled to tour this summer.
