The emails were only sent to people who were at the Blackout video shoot, I'm a subscriber and got nothing

yeah U2Valencia have just tweeted out the full date of the thing they've been teasing.
I dont think they're totally leading us on with made up info, but they've def been a bit troll-y about it all

Well, now this could make a bit more sense to me.
The Blackout gets a video release tomorrow. It's on U2.com, spreads across FB, Insatgram, etc..., articles are written, buzz spreads, the album release date is confirmed, etc...
Then on the 8th TBT goes to radio. Then do they also release a video for that???
They get people to stream and download two new songs building hype for the album.
But still odd, cause it may leave arguably a better song as a side note that never gets radio play. And would mean two new songs 3 months before the album. Also odd.
I keep trying to come up with a plausable plan, but it never quite sounds right...
This can also answer the question as to whether or not they play anything new in Detroit. Would seem like too much of an opportunity at the start of the last leg of the tour with all the hype around the new album to just have Bono say "new album soon right the edge" and play little things.

Yeah, IMO 3 months is an eternity in pop culture attention span.
What might assuage that gap is the rumors of a promo tour in November, but why not just release the album then? The JT tour will be over by that point. The videos and album art are presumably done.
You gotta strike while the iron is hot. Even if these new songs have an impact, it's a lot to ask the general public to wait so long for a band who aren't widely seen as vital anymore.

I doubt they'd release anything this week associated with the concept of Blackout given the situation in Texas (unless it's something they can leverage for fundraising to help that region).

That was a flood though. The song isn't called "Washout"

I had dinner with two U2 pals the other night as I was traveling, and one of them got to be a plus-one for a contest winner. She told us all about the shoot and I am just so excited for the song and to see the video.
Nah... Look at the other pictures. The one of Larry has the WOWY graphics behind him. He took JT pictures and made them black and white.
