On July 7th, 2026 Island Records announced the release of a brand new U2 track titled 'Street of Dreams'. The song is the first release from the band's yet-to-be announced new studio album, their first in 9 years.

Produced by Jacknife Lee, Street of Dreams delivers the unmistakable U2 sound created by Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Jr. Its release comes two months ahead of the fiftieth anniversary of the band's formation -  after Larry posted a handwritten note which read "Drummer seeks musicians to form band" on the school noticeboard at Dublin's Mount Temple Comprehensive. 

The music video for Street of Dreams was shot in Mexico City where the band also attended the 2026 Street Child World Cup Finals Tournament at Parque Ecológico Lago de Texcoco. The video shoot, near Plaza Santo Domingo, drew a huge crowd of fans despite inclement weather, with thunder and rain unexpectedly causing a generator to crash and a local family welcoming the four band members into their apartment to film on the balcony.
