Overview
- U2 released the single and official video for “Street of Dreams” on Tuesday, July 7, 2026, positioning it as the first preview of a new studio album.
- The band has not announced a title or firm release date for the album but says it will arrive later this year and that the two six-song EPs issued earlier in 2026 will not be part of the LP.
- Longtime collaborator Jacknife Lee produced the track and the video was filmed in Mexico City’s Plaza Santo Domingo where heavy rain caused a generator failure and the band finished shooting from a local family’s apartment balcony.
- Drummer Larry Mullen Jr. appears in the video and is confirmed to have returned to recording with U2 after missing the 2023–24 Las Vegas Sphere residency for neck surgery.
- The single is the band’s first full-length preview of new material since 2017’s Songs of Experience and arrives as U2 approaches their 50th anniversary, signaling a campaign focused on a louder, live-oriented record though no tour has been announced.
