- U2 (Bono, the Edge, Adam Clayton, and Larry Mullen Jr.) were filming part of the 'Street of Dreams' music video in Plaza Santo Domingo, Mexico City, when thunder and rain knocked out the shoot's generator.
- Unable to continue at the original site, U2 knocked on a local family's door and asked to use their private balcony as a backup filming location.
- 'Street of Dreams' is the first single from U2's forthcoming, still-untitled studio album, due later this year.
- The new album will be U2's first studio LP since 2017's Songs of Experience, ending an eight-year gap between full-length releases.
- Before the LP, U2 reemerged in February with two EPs — Days of Ash and Easter Lily — marking their first new releases of this era.
Why it matters: U2's first studio album in eight years arrives later this year, and 'Street of Dreams' is the band's first listen before it lands — meaning the song doubles as both a single and a signal of what direction the untitled LP will take fans.
