U2 release their second EP of the year.

U2 have shared another standalone 6-track EP as they continue to build towards the release of a full length album later in 2026.

Easter Lily follows on from February’s Days Of Ash, and is accompanied by a series of lyric videos which are online now.

“We are in the studio, still working towards a noisy, messy, ‘unreasonably colourful’ album to play LIVE…which is where U2 lives,” Bono has said.

“We still look to vivid rock n roll as an act of resistance against all this awfulness on our small screens. These are for sure ‘wilderness years’ for so many of us looking at the mayhem out there in the world.”

It’s a time that has our band digging deeper into our lives to find a wellspring of songs to try meet the moment… With Easter Lily we ended up asking very personal questions like: Are our own relationships up to these challenging times? How hard do you fight for friendship?

“Can our faith survive the mangling of meaning that those algorithms love to reward? Is all religion rubbish and still ripping us apart…?”
