Irish rock legends U2 have released their brand new single “Street of Dreams” from their forthcoming studio album, released via Island Records.
One of the world’s most iconic rock bands is entering a new era with the lead single from its yet-to-be-announced album — the band’s first full-length project featuring new material in nine years, following 2017’s Songs of Experience.
The release is especially notable for the band’s Filipino fans, who first got to see them perform live in the country during The Joshua Tree Tour at the Philippine Arena in 2019. Additionally, the release arrives as U2 prepare to celebrate their 50th anniversary as a band this September.
Produced by longtime collaborator Jacknife Lee, the song is accompanied by a music video filmed in Mexico City, where the band visited the 2026 Street Child World Cup Finals Tournament.
Despite challenging weather conditions, the production also lent a hand to residents, which were ultimately captured in the visual, reflecting the song’s message of resilience and advocacy for marginalized children.
