It’s the beautiful day millions of U2 fans around the globe have waited patiently to see for the past four years.
Now we can reveal details of the supergroup’s long-awaited new album.
It is believed to be titled No Line On The Horizon and will be on sale in music stores on November 14.
The band’s record company Universal has already registered the internet domain name nolineonthehorizon.com - prompting speculation this will be the new record.
And among the songs to be released on what many music insiders are calling the band’s best work to date are Moment Of Surrender, For Your Love, Love Is All We Have Left and One Bird.
Others include If I Could Live My Life Again, The Cedars Of Lebanon and No Line On The Horizon.
Earlier this week a 19-strong film crew headed to the Spanish city of Cadiz to shoot a video for the band’s first single from the new album although the band were not believed to be present.
Last night an insider said the U2 machine is gearing up for the release of one of the most keenly-awaited albums in recent years.
“The album is more or less all in the bag except for a few minor details,” the source revealed. A lot of people have been waiting a long time for this album as they do with every U2 album.
“But the word coming out is that the band is very, very happy with the end product and when U2 are happy it should be quite a piece of work. They’re not easy to please.”
Legendary producer Steve Lillywhite, who has worked with U2 for more than two decades, said the new album had blown him away.
It is the first original work since the band released the smash-hit How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb in November 2004. It sold an incredible 10 million copies and picked up eight Grammy Awards.
But music commentators think the new record could be even bigger for Bono, The Edge, Larry and Adam.
U2 are also expected to announce details of a huge worldwide tour, which would almost certainly include a number of nights at the new O2 Arena in the Dublin Docklands - formerly known as the Point Theatre.
In a flurry of activity, the group have just re-released their first three albums - Boy, October and War - in extended formats and with previously unreleased tracks.
It has led to that rare thing - U2 making a mistake.
A quantity of the re-released War albums have been printed with incorrect track listings inside a booklet.
But ironically, it won’t hit sales, as the botched items are likely to become collector’s pieces.
The sad thing is, I doubt they'll come to my town (ottawa, ontario). It's stupid, a lot of bands go to Toronto and Montreal, but skip Canada's capital, just because its smack in the middle. They came here last time (vertigo tour) i believe because our Prime Minister was friends with Bono, and he asked Bono to do a concert here. The only other times they've been here were during the Boy tour in a small bar/club and the UF tour in a small arena here. (My good friends dad saw them both times, LUCKY!!!)
