U2

Formed in Dublin in 1976, U2 has toured the globe countless times, released 15 studio albums, sold over 170 million albums and won numerous awards, including 22 Grammys and Amnesty International’s Ambassador of Conscience award. U2 were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2005 and have twice been nominated for an Academy Award. Acknowledged as one of the best live acts in the world, U2 has consistently pushed the boundaries of live performance, with ground-breaking stage shows that embrace the latest in technology and innovation most recently with ‘U2:UV Achtung Baby Live At Sphere’ which lit up Las Vegas for an acclaimed 40-date run. Days Of Ash, a standalone 6-track EP was released on Ash Wednesday in 2026, a self-contained collection of five new songs and a poem, which came as an immediate response to current events and was inspired by the many extraordinary and courageous people fighting on the frontlines of freedom. A second, separate standalone 6-track EP titled Easter Lily was released on Good Friday, a much more reflective set of songs emerging from a more personal, private place that some may retreat to in such times – exploring themes of friendship, loss, hope, and ultimately, renewal. The band’s current track ‘Street of Dreams’ is the first song to be taken from the band’s yet-to-be announced new studio album, U2’s first in 9 years, due for release later this year.
