U2 have officially announced the name of their new album and set a release date, after pushing it back last month as they wanted it to be “our best album ever… or what’s the point?”
The Irish rockers have named their ninth studio album ‘No Line On The Horizon’ and set down March 2nd, 2009, as the official release date.
‘No Line On The Horizon’ and will be the follow up to 2004′s ‘How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb’, which sold over nine million copies worldwide.
“It sounds like a U2 album but it doesn’t sound like anything we’ve done before and it doesn’t really sound like anything that’s happening at the moment,” The Edge recently told Mojo magazine.
According to a press release from the band, producers on the new album will be long-time collaborators Brian Eno, Daniel Lanois and Steve Lillywhite.
