It's only been 13 months since the last album. I've changed my prediction from 2020 to 2017. Don't think it will happen next year, but I would love to be wrong.

I'm nuts to say this, but I think there's a good chance we get an album next month.

LP 14

2017 makes no sense, the tour will not last that long for the album to have a part in the tour.

Agree. I feel next March we will use the album.

U2 won't be touring in 2017, they'd have to acknowledge Pop.

10th anniversary - 2007. No tour.
15th anniversary - 2012. No tour.

Coincidence?

U2020 sounds like a great title if the album has some comedic twist

the fact that you remembered lyrics for North Star AND the fact that it had the word "space cowboy" is amazing.

I love North Star, I think it's a great song! It just has a weak lyric or two that really stand out....y'know, like 'space cowboy.'

probably "space law enforcement" could've worked better

Interesting. Maybe I'll check this out when I am in Paris, as the author of the linked article mentions, that this Experience Bus will be there for all the 4 shows in Paris

Surprised no one has put this up yet but Simon Mayo said they would be talking live on his show sometime between 5-7pm tomorrow Tuesday 27th. Simon was at the show last night and said he would be asking about the tour, the music and the new album. He's a long time supporter of the boys. He used to play their new singles twice in a row when it was being premiered which was much appreciated preinternet days. Looking forward to it

I would hate if those VR thing is forced to us by Apple when SOE is released

 

[Hollow Island]

Same, I just want the music. If the music needs visuals to create an immersive experience then it's not good enough.

the only way we can hear the new U2 album is to buy the new Apple Holodeck. Sorry everyone.

What's with the Canada HBO link, eh? It doesn't work for me.

Did I miss this? Just tuned in, the latest U2 photo posting jogged the memory - think I may have just missed Bono and Larry.

Wow why are all the cool interviews from BBC which isn't accessible from US?

 

[JamietheEdgefan]

I'm in the uk, it should show up the bbc website pretty imminently as a replay-able broadcast, i'll see if i can listen in and report back.

Only BBC TV is blocked in the U.S., the radio stream has always been playable from here.

 

[Pop Artist]

It's up: BBC Radio 2 - Simon Mayo Drivetime, Bono and Larry Mullen Jr Interview starts at 1:05:30

Skimmed through it, not much was said really. Larry mentioned that songs were being written "from Vancouver, on a serious basis." They spent time recording whilst rehearsing etc.
He then says "Yeah, we've been pretty serious about - " then the host cuts him off and changes the subject. Kind of annoying.
They mention they haven't ruled out doing a creative release - rather than a conventional one - again.

Nothing new to be heard, really, but the general attitude still sounds pretty optimistic, like they're actually quite focused on getting this thing out (though at what time, who knows).
