U2 Debut New Songs at Secret London Concert
U2 played a surprise, intimate concert at Tate Modern’s South Tank in London, with attendees selected through a ballot and phones put away. Set against Brian Eno’s generative artwork, the band performed classics including “The Unforgettable Fire,” “Bad” and “With or Without You,” alongside new songs from its forthcoming album, Carnaval De Luz; two tracks were performed live for the first time. Bono brought Eno onstage during the finale, celebrating their longtime creative partnership. The concert was recorded for the BBC, with broadcasts scheduled for television, radio and streaming later in November, ahead of the album’s Nov. 13 release.
