Irish rock icons U2 announced their 15th album, Carnaval de Luz, to mark their 50th anniversary since forming in 1976. 50 years, same 4 guys, that’s pretty special.

U2’s longevity and success are attributed to their continual reinvention and passion for perfection. Celebrations in Dublin and a commemorative two euro coin mark the band’s 50th milestone. New album drops Mid November.
