Watch U2 Crash a Family’s Apartment in New Music Video

The Story

What would you do if U2 knocked on your door? Earlier this year, Bono, the Edge, Adam Clayton, and Larry Mullen Jr. stopped by one Mexico City family’s domicile after filming a portion of the music video for new song “Street of Dreams” in Plaza Santo Domingo. Thunder and rain had caused a generator powering the shoot to die, and the band needed a back-up location, so they asked the family for use of their private balcony. You can watch the final product below.

“Street of Dreams” is the initial preview of a forthcoming, still-untitled U2 LP. That record, due later this year, will mark their first studio album since 2017’s Songs of Experience. They first reemerged in February with two EPs, Days of Ash and Easter Lily.
