U2 Releases New Video for 'Street of Dreams'

U2 has officially released the full music video for their latest single, Street of Dreams. The track serves as a preview for the band's upcoming studio album, which is currently untitled.

The song was produced by Jacknife Lee, a long-time collaborator of the band. Lee's impressive history with U2 includes co-production credits on the 2004 album How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb and the 2017 release Songs of Experience. Additionally, he worked on the 2007 track The Saints Are Coming with Green Day and served as the musical director for Bono's Stories of Surrender theater tour from 2022 to 2023.

Street of Dreams is the group's first new single since the 2023 release of Atomic City. While the band has stayed active by releasing two EPs - Days of Ash in February and Easter Lily in April - this new single signals a shift toward a full-length project. This follows Songs of Experience, their last album of original material, and Songs of Surrender, a collection of reimagined older songs.

The music video was filmed in Mexico City and features the band aboard a school bus adorned with graffiti by artist Chavis Mármol. The video is particularly significant because it marks only the second major appearance of drummer Larry Mullen Jr. since his hiatus. Mullen was forced to miss the 2023-2024 Las Vegas residency, U2:UV Achtung Baby Live at Sphere, due to neck surgery.

Speaking with Rolling Stone, Mullen admitted that he had ignored his physical symptoms for several years, noting that he learned the hard way that he is not invincible. Before this video, Mullen's only other recent appearance was at the Ivor Novello Awards in May 2025. During his recovery, Bram van den Berg filled in on drums for the Las Vegas performances.
