U2's Carnaval De Luz, the Band's First Album in Nine Years, Is Out Now
U2's 16th studio album, Carnaval De Luz, is out now on Interscope Records. It is the band's first album of new material in nine years. Jacknife Lee produced the 12-song set. The album is on Apple Music.
The tracklist is "Go (Carnaval De Luz)," "La Reina," "Street of Dreams," "The Mirror Maker (Rosalía)," "Superficiality," "If The World Is At War We Better Not Be," "Silencio," "The Greatest Show On Earth," "Glorify," "Midnight Sunshine," "Can't Stop Us Now," and "Torn (feat. Dolly Parton)."
The album follows earlier singles and videos for "Street of Dreams," "Silencio," and "The Greatest Show On Earth." A country version of "Torn" featuring Dolly Parton, billed as the Kent Wells Version, is also out this week through Big Machine Records. Interscope says Parton recorded her vocal in Nashville in June, and that the appearance is her final recorded vocal performance. The album version is produced by Jacknife Lee and includes Daniel Lanois on pedal steel.
Brian Eno has co-writing and synthesizer credits on "Go (Carnaval De Luz)," "The Greatest Show On Earth," and "Can't Stop Us Now." Martin Garrix has a co-writing credit on "Glorify," and Ryan Tedder has an additional production credit on "Silencio."
The announcement also points to a special one-off edition of the band's Propaganda magazine, issued as a digital zine with a limited print run, including lyrics, interviews, and notes from the band. KAZI previously reported the 2027 Carnaval De Luz tour routing, which still starts in Mexico City on Feb 23, 2027.
