The band began work on their twelfth album No Line on the Horizon in 2006, originally writing and recording with producer Rick Rubin, but the material was shelved. The band subsequently chose to begin writing and recording for the album with producers Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno in June 2007. A two-week trip to Fez, Morocco where the six recorded led to the band experimenting with North African sounds and indicating the album would be more experimental than their previous efforts. During the album sessions, on 31 March 2008, it was confirmed that U2 signed a 12 year deal with Live Nation worth an estimated $100 million (£50 million), which includes Live Nation controlling the band's merchandise, sponsoring, and their official website.
After 16 months in the studio, the band completed No Line on the Horizon in December 2008, and it was released on 27 February 2009 The album received generally positive reviews, but critics noted the end result was not as experimental as expected. The band have confirmed plans to release another album by the end of the year, provisionally titled Songs of Ascent, consisting of material recorded during the sessions for No Line on the Horizon. Bono says it will be "a more meditative album on the theme of pilgrimage".
U2 have begun a worldwide stadium tour entitled the U2 360° Tour to support No Line on the Horizon. The tour began on 30 June 2009 at Camp Nou in Barcelona, Spain and will feature European and North American legs in 2009, each approximately 6 weeks long, with additional shows to follow in 2010.The tour features a 360-degree staging/audience configuration, in which the fans will surround the stage from all sides.
The show keeps rolling forward and we can expect to hear and see new things along the way. Enjoy
U2 moved on to Berlin, Germany. The setlist did have one big surprise - the tour debut of Stay. It is the first Zooropa song to appear on the current tour, and with the exception of the 23 November 2007 surprise appearance by Bono and Edge at Islington Chapel, it is the first time U2 have played the song since 25 October 2001 on the Elevation Tour.
In the encore, Bono led the crowd in singing Happy Birthday for Nelson Mandela. The full set was posted earlier tonight - Thank you headphones4less

U2 rocked Berlin on Saturday, returning to the German city where almost 20 years ago the Irish band came to reinvent themselves and make "Achtung Baby", for many fans their best album.
"Thank you for coming to our 'grosser party' (big party)," singer Bono told a crowd of 90,000 people during a two-hour set in the Olympic Stadium built by Hitler in the 1930s. "We wrote many songs here in Berlin."
U2 came in 1990 to get inspiration from a city undergoing profound change in the wake of a peaceful revolution that pulled down the Berlin Wall the previous November and brought to an end communist East Germany.
The album that they came up with, "Achtung Baby", marked a new direction both musically and visually for the group, and would go on to sell in huge numbers and receive widespread critical acclaim.
The video for the best-known song, "One", was shot in Berlin with clips of spluttering Trabants, the archetypal Eastern Bloc car that also featured, suspended over the stage, in the high-tech "Zoo TV" world tour that followed.
The current "360" tour taking in 14 European cities before heading to North America includes an enormous spaceship-like structure straddling the stage flashing out graphics and lighting effects and blasting out a wall of sound.
The Berlin concert included a mixture of classic U2 songs like "Sunday Bloody Sunday" and "Mysterious Ways" as well as new songs from their latest album "No Line On The Horizon."
With Bono a prominent anti-poverty activist, the concert also had a political edge, with a rendition of "Happy Birthday" for Nelson Mandela and a song dedicated to detained Myanmar opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi.
"This woman has been under house arrest for the best part of 20 years," Bono said. "I would like to sing her an Irish lullaby."
