U2 debut groovy new song while filming music video in Mexico City

It may soon be the summer of U2 as they gear up for their next album, but first, a lead single has to come out. Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton, and drummer Larry Mullen Jr. were spotted in Mexico City shooting a music video, presumably for their new album’s lead single.

They gathered a large crowd in the streets of Mexico City for the shoot. The four band members stood on top of a stationary bus and performed a song that appears to be titled “Street of Dreams.”

U2 posted a brief snippet of the song on their social media pages. It’s driven by Clayton’s bass, which is never something to complain about. There’s no doubt it’s a U2 song, given The Edge’s guitar playing, and the crowd was eating it up, clapping to the beat.

“Hopped a bus in Mexico City, destination: Street of Dreams,” U2’s caption read. “‘Justice an obsession, love is a procession down the street of dreams.’”

U2 also performed an acoustic set in Mexico City on someone’s balcony

In addition to the new song, U2 performed an acoustic set on someone’s balcony. According to Setlist.fm, they performed three of their biggest hits, “Desire,” “Vertigo,” and “Angel of Harlem,” and also “In a Little While.”

Bono and The Edge performed “In a Little While” for NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert series, but the full band hadn’t performed the song since Apr. 9, 2011, on their 360 Tour. The balcony rendition of “Angel of Harlem” also featured a snippet of Van Morrison’s “Into the Mystic,” a favorite of Bono’s.

This is a busy year for U2. Their next album is presumably coming out later in the year, which happens to be when the band will celebrate its 50th anniversary. Additionally, they released two EPs, Days of Ash and Easter Lily, earlier in the year, surprising fans with 11 new songs.
