U2: CARNAVAL DE LUZ

Here we go. U2 are set to release their 16th studio album, Carnaval De Luz, featuring 12 brand-new songs from Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton, and Larry Mullen Jr. And the timing couldn't be more fitting — arriving as U2 mark 50 years together since starting in Dublin back in 1976.

50TH ANNIVERSARY RECORD & TOUR 12 BRAND-NEW TRACKS Album: Nov 13, 2026 • World Tour: 2027

Early tracks include “Street of Dreams,” “Silencio,” and “Torn,” featuring Dolly Parton. And yes, that last collaboration definitely has our attention.

Studio Intel & Collabs

Co-producers include Brian Eno, Jacknife Lee, and Daniel Lanois. Edge confirmed this marks the first time he has utilized flat-wound guitar strings on a full U2 album.

"After 50 years, U2 aren't just looking back. There's another chapter coming."
