McGuinness Talks New U2 Album

@U2, August 08, 2010
By: m2 / @mattmcgee

 

U2 manager Paul McGuinness spoke with Hot Press magazine shortly after U2's show in Turin on Friday, and reiterated comments that U2 may have a new album out before the end of the year:

"I hope there will be another record pretty soon. If I was being wildly optimistic, I'd say before the end of the year."

That echoes comments that McGuinness made in April to Rolling Stone, when he said an album by the end of 2010 was "increasingly likely." In speaking to Hot Press, McGuinness also pretty much threw a bucket of cold water on Bono's recent comments about U2 working on four separate album projects: "I heard him telling an Italian journalist that he had four albums ready. That's not quite it! But that's what he was saying [laughs]." We've updated our new U2 album page with this latest news.

As long as you're here, two other quick items:

  • U2 and friends apparently hosted a birthday party for The Edge on Saturday night in the south of France. New U2 songs could be heard. U2poland.com has a short story about it, and a photo of Bono to go along with it.
  • U2tours.com is reporting a rumor that OneRepublic might be one of the opening acts for the 2011 U2 360 tour.
