The band’s highly-anticipated new album, Hackney Diamonds, arrives on October 20th via Geffen Records. The album is their first studio set of new material since 2005’s A Bigger Bang.

The 12-track album was recorded in various locations around the world, including Henson Recording Studios, Los Angeles; Metropolis Studios, London; Sanctuary Studios, Nassau, Bahamas; Electric Lady Studios, New York; and The Hit Factory/Germano Studios, also in New York.
The band has also teamed with Major League Baseball for special limited edition team versions of the project, featuring all 30 MLB Clubs.
