U2: The Edge promises new music ‘very soon’ and teases a world tour
Irish rock legends U2 are back with a big surprise for their fans. Just when people were wondering about the band’s plans, Bono’s band are back in the news. Excitement is building among U2 fans as the band’s legendary guitarist, The Edge, has announced the imminent arrival of a new single and hinted at plans for future live shows. In a recent interview on the ‘Sodajerker on Songwriting’ podcast, he confirmed that the band are in a period of intense creativity.
U2: a new single on the horizon!
Rumours of a U2 musical comeback seem to be taking shape, especially after the re-release of ‘How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb’. The Edge has hinted that a new song could be on the way very soon: ‘There could be a new song very soon that you’ll be hearing about. I can’t say any more than that at the moment’. Following the huge success of their ‘U2:UV Achtung Baby Live at Sphere’ residency in Las Vegas, the band are ready to return to the spotlight.
U2 in concert: a world tour in the pipeline for 2025/2026?
U2 fans around the world can rejoice: The Edge has also hinted at plans for concerts outside the confines of Las Vegas, where the band performed a residency in the famous Sphere that everyone raves about.
‘We’re hoping to do some shows. The Vegas residency was fantastic, but we didn’t see much of the world. We’re looking forward to meeting our fans where they live, rather than making them come all the way to us.’ – The Edge
These statements hint at a world tour, which promises to bring fans together in every corner of the globe. It’s cool to see that the band are ready to meet their fans where they are, it will be a change from the Oasis tour, which forces European fans to go to the UK to see them.

Despite the uncertainty surrounding their future plans, it’s to be hoped that 2024 won’t be a blank slate, and the band’s commitment and enthusiasm for creating new material is a beacon of hope for those eagerly awaiting the next chapter in U2‘s musical history. We’re definitely up for a new album in late 2024 and a major tour of the UK, Ireland and Europe in 2025.
Some say that the Dublin band could wait until 2026 (yes, we know that’s a loooooooooooong way off) to celebrate 50 years in the business. Bono, The Edge and the others could well have some surprises in store for us as the anniversary approaches. U2 could pull an AC/DC and/or a Rolling Stone and go on tour to celebrate this great age with the fans.
