'Fireflies'

Out today!  Martin Garrix teams up with U2 on new track 'Fireflies', debuted live with Edge at Tomorrowland Festival.

'Fireflies'

Released today, Fireflies is a collaboration with chart-topping DJ and producer Martin Garrix. 

The track premiered live during Garrix's headline set at Belgium's Tomorrowland last weekend … including a surprise appearance from Edge.

LISTEN HERE.

A powerful track fusing Bono's unmistakable vocals, U2's classic sound and Garrix's signature production, the song marks the first time all four members of U2 have appeared on a track with Garrix. 

A longtime friendship and creative partnership has brought Martin and U2 together many times. Earlier this year  Martin produced  "Scars," on the band's Easter Lily EP and back in 2019  he collaborated with Bono and Edge on "We Are The People," for the UEFA Football Championship.

''Fireflies' has a very unique mood,' Martin explains. 'It's a special song we started working on six summers ago. It felt electrifying and very surreal to finally debut it at Tomorrowland with The Edge.


'I've worked with Bono and Edge before, but working with the whole band I got to get a glimpse of their chemistry and why U2 are who they are. They are incredible friends and collaborators, and it has been an absolute honour to work with them again.'

"We go back a long way with Martin,' added Edge. 'There's always a sense of adventure whenever we get together. Playing Fireflies for the first time at Tomorrowland, in front of one of the most passionate festival crowds anywhere, was such a rush... in fact I might have enjoyed it a bit too much. It reminded me of why I love playing outdoors. I like it better when there's no ceiling."

"Fireflies" is the latest in a string of exciting collaborations from Garrix. Most recently, he collaborated with Madonna on "Bizarre" for newest album, Confessions 11 and in May, he teamed up with Ed Sheeran to release their long-awaited collaboration "Repeat It" as well as the acoustic version. 

U2's latest single, 'Street of Dreams', is the first release from the yet-to-be announced new studio album, their first in 9 years, due for release later this year.
