U2 announces new album ‘No Line on the Horizon’
Mark your calendars! U2.com reports that ‘No Line on the Horizon’, the new studio album from U2, will be released on Monday 2nd March, 2009.
They write:
Written and recorded in various locations, No Line On The Horizon is the group’s 12th studio album and is their first release since the 9 million selling album How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb, released in late 2004.
Sessions for No Line On The Horizon began last year in Fez, Morocco, continued in the band’s own studio in Dublin, before moving to New York’s Platinum Sound Recording Studios, and finally being completed at Olympic Studios in London.
The album calls on the production talents of long-time collaborators Brian Eno and Danny Lanois, with additional production by Steve Lillywhite.
Billboard runs the story and has a quote from a ‘source’ who heard songs in their early forms: “…amazing and a little out there. I hope they don’t change anything.” (Read more.)

- U2 Fan Survey 2012: Third Set of Results Available May 23, 2012The third set of results from the 2012 U2 Fan Survey is now available, and it takes us through your votes on U2's albums and songs.

We think that's likely due to the band […]
- A Look at My U2 Framed Album Cover Wall (PHOTOS) May 22, 2012How would you like to have a wall in your house covered with perfectly framed U2 album cover art? You could just have your favorite U2 albums on the wall or, like me, you could go all the way and put every U2 album on display in order — like this: That’s one of the [...]This is a post from the @U2 blog.A Look at My U2 Framed Album Cover Wall (PHOTOS) […]
- The Resource Miracle May 22, 2012[Note: This essay appeared in the May 28, 2012, edition of TIME magazine.] It's become the go-to cliché of modern economics. Natural resources are a "curse." When a nation is over-reliant on one or two commodities like oil or precious minerals, corrupt government ministers and their dodgy associates hoard profits and taxes instead of properly […]
- Bono Pays One More Tribute to Steve Jobs May 22, 2012Bono made an appearance via video tonight at the Webby Awards, contributing to a tribute to Steve Jobs. A host of tech legends and celebrities each paid tribute to Jobs in five words or less, a Webby Awards tradition. It looks like Bono’s contribution was recorded within the past week, but that’s just a guess. [...]This is a post from the @U2 blog.Bono Pays […]

Finally. Just curious when the tour is going to start. Last time they released an album early in the year was Pop (March 1997), they kicked off PopMart at the end of April. That just sounds unlikely this time for me. Have the feeling they’ll hit USA stadiums in June/July and head straight to Europe then. Or?

Hallelujah! Nice to hear the album is more adventurous as well. I love ATYCLB, but HTDAAB is an odd one. I like most of the songs on their own (Vertigo, COBL), but when I listen to the whole album, it just leaves me feeling underwhelmed. I think Bono once said the same thing? But HTDAAB was a necessary album imo — they had to be a little predictable again, nuts and bolts rock and roll, in order to go wild on the next album. It seems to be how U2 works. During ZooTV, Bono said that he likes the mischief, but prefers the mystery when it comes to women, and that’s how rock ‘n’ roll should be. That’s how I feel about U2, that is when they’re at their best — the right balance of mischief and mystery.

Um, I wouldn’t put any stock in those dates nikola, when the UK and Ireland are pretty much the only countries on that list with single dates (particularly the UK) for a U2 tour, you know it is false… Hurrah for the new album! U2.com is promising new video “in a few days”, single maybe?

i wonder if the beat Larry had going in that clip will be part of the single…
watch the clip if you haven’t already done so…
it certainly has an ‘anthem’ build to it!!
