Irish rockers U2 have named their new album \u201cNo Line On The Horizon,\u201d and will release it worldwide in early March, their label said on Thursday.<\/p>\n
The quartet\u2019s 12th studio album was originally expected to be released by the end of this year, but the band announced in September that it would keep writing more tunes. Recording took place in Morocco, Dublin, New York and London.<\/p>\n
Interscope Records will release \u201cNo Line On The Horizon\u201d internationally on March 2, and a day later in North America.<\/p>\n
It marks the follow-up to \u201cHow To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb,\u201d which was released in late 2004 and went on to sell 9 million copies worldwide, according to Interscope. It also garnered U2 their second album of the year Grammy, following 1987\u2019s \u201cThe Joshua Tree.\u201d

The new album was produced by long-time collaborators Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois, with additional production by Steve Lillywhite. Tunes recorded in 2006 with producer Rick Rubin, the man behind Johnny Cash\u2019s comeback, have been jettisoned.<\/p>\n
Tour plans have not been announced.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
