U2’s 14th studio album, Songs of Experience (Interscope), has now become the band’s eighth album to hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200, making U2 the sole group to score No. 1 albums across four decades: The 1980s, 1990s, 2000s and 2010s. Songs of Experience’s first week sales of nearly 200,000 equivalent albums since its December 1st release represent 2017’s biggest first week numbers for a rock band.

Songs of Experience’s release was celebrated with a December 2nd appearance on Saturday Night Live, featuring the band playing “Get Out Of Your Own Way” and “American Soul.” The video of “Get Out Of Your Own Way” will premiere in the coming days.

Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Jr. will debut songs from the critically acclaimed new album alongside classics spanning the entire U2 catalogue on the eXPERIENCE + iNNOCENCE Tour beginning in North America in May 2018. Just as Songs of Experience serves as a companion piece to 2014’s Songs of Innocence, the eXPERIENCE + iNNOCENCE Tour will serve as a sequel to 2015’s iNNOCENCE + eXPERIENCE Tour which saw “U2 reinvent the arena show” (Rolling Stone) and was named the No. 1 concert of 2015 by The New York Times. With demand for tickets necessitating second dates in San Jose, Los Angeles, Boston, Chicago, Las Vegas, Montreal, New York, Philadelphia and Washington DC, the eXPERIENCE + iNNOCENCE Tour will kick off Wednesday, May 2nd in Tulsa OK at the BOK Center.
