New U2 Album Set For June

U2 is at it again. In an interview with the Irish Independent, Bono said that the band’s new album will be ready by June and will be titled Songs Of Ascent. An exact release date was not available. He also hinted that, conceptually, the new record will be like a sister album to No Line On The Horizon, much like Zooropa was to Achtung Baby.

U2 has concert dates already set for Chicago in 2010. They will roll into Soldier Field on July 6. Tickets are already on sale. Stay tuned to Straight Lines Music for more information on updated tour dates and the new CD.
