U2 / Carnaval De Luz, Limited Edition Blu-ray

NEW U2 ALBUM • SDE & D2C EXCLUSIVE BLU-RAY • DOLBY ATMOS • HI-RES STEREO

Carnaval De Luz is the 16th studio album from U2 and the first album of new material from the band in nine years. It's available as this SDE & D2C exclusive blu-ray audio, featuring an immersive Dolby Atmos Mix and a Hi-Res Stereo Mix.

the 12-track album was recorded "all over the place" and produced by Jacknife Lee. It explores themes of spirituality, friendship, freedom and endurance in the face of dark, encroaching forces.

We are promised "echoes of the band’s most experimental work" combined with some strict songwriting in the shape of ‘The Greatest Show On Earth’, ‘Glorify’ and ‘Midnight Sunshine’, as well as the 2mins 35second homage to early surf-punk insolence that is ‘Silencio’. 

Carnaval De Luz sees contributions from Brian Eno (co-writing and synthesizers on ‘Go (Carnaval De Luz)’, ‘The Greatest Show on Earth’ and ‘Can’t Stop Us Now’), Martin Garrix (co-writing on ‘Glorify’), Daniel Lanois (playing pedal steel on ‘Torn’); and the late, great Dolly Parton, in what has sadly turned out to be her last recorded vocal performance. She duets with Bono on ‘Torn’, a song co-written by U2, Parton and Johnny McDaid, it’s a tender country song detailing broken family ties that holds wider resonances.

The limited edition blu-ray audio of Carnaval De Luz features the following audio streams:

• Dolby Atmos Mix (48 kHz / 24 bit)
• Hi-Res Stereo Mix (48 kHz / 24 bit)

Carnaval De Luz also sees collaborations from Brian Eno (co-writing and synthesizers on ‘Go (Carnaval De Luz)’, ‘The Greatest Show on Earth’ and ‘Can’t Stop Us Now’), Martin Garrix (co-writing on ‘Glorify’), and Daniel Lanois (playing pedal steel on ‘Torn’); with additional production from Ryan Tedder on ‘Silencio’.

"Roll up, roll up, roll up! Bring your purple socks, your broken hearts, your rose-tinted naivety… oh be amazed in the hall of mirrors. There will be loud guitars, deep bass, some ecstatic rhythms and, yes, some silver tears will make an appearance!" - Bono

Carnaval De Luz is released on 13 November 2026 via Island.
