U2 is edging ever-so-closer to officially announcing the group’s first full-length collection of new material in nine years. Heralding it is the first single from that forthcoming effort, “Street of Dreams,” which hit DSPs as a single and music video early Tuesday.
The streets are not the only thing that has no name; even with this first single coming out, no title has been announced yet for the album. A release date has not been given, either, although the album is being promised as arriving some time this year.
If fans had to bet on a time the new album might come out, September might be the likeliest time, at least if the band is feeling at all sentimental. The group will be celebrating the 50th anniversary of their formation that month.
Cliqua directed the music video. It will come as no surprise to fans that the video was shot in Mexico City. In May, the band was photographed and video-ed while performing their new song atop a school bus graffitied by Mexican artist Chavis Mármol. While they were south of the border, the group also attended the 2026 Street Child World Cup Finals Tournament at Parque Ecológico Lago de Texcoco. The new song contains a few lines in Spanish (see the full lyrics, below).
