U2 are reported to be working on a new album after The Edge told Rolling Stone magazine that the band "are firmly locked in the tower of song".
The new record would be the follow-up to 2017's Songs of Experience.
In the interview, the guitarist revealed that he’s working with bassist Adam Clayton on a new song idea.
"We are firmly locked in the tower of song and working away on a bunch of new things," he said.
"I’m just having so much fun writing and not necessarily having to think about where it’s going to go. It’s more about enjoying the experience of writing and having no expectations or limitations on the process."
The Edge added that U2 hadn’t decided on who might produce any new album but said he enjoyed working with Dutch DJ on the band’s UEFA Euro 2020 song We Are The People, adding, "I hope to work with him in the future.
"But we haven’t made any firm decisions on what the next thing will be in terms of personnel. I just don’t know."
The Edge also said that he is open to the possibility of bringing Zoo TV back on the road for its 30th anniversary. The world-wide concert tour, staged in support of the band's landmark album Achtung Baby, toured the world from 1992 to 1993.
"I would love that, and I couldn’t rule it out," he said. "I think [Zoo TV] is such a current thought. Back then we were dealing with the overload and kind of the whiplash of 24/7 news cycles, which hadn’t been known before.
"It was the overload of cable TV and hundreds and hundreds of channels. And little did we know that that was just the beginning of this avalanche of channels to kind of draw your attention.
"And so, yeah, I think Zoo TV could absolutely come back and be just as relevant. But we haven’t actually got to the point of doing anything more than this kind of talk, but I wouldn’t rule it out again."
Last week, U2 released the 30th anniversary edition of Achtung Baby with a special vinyl release and on December 3, the band will release a 50-track digital boxset of the album which will feature remixes and B-sides.
Earlier this month, U2 shared a new song called Your Song Saved My Life, which was their first new track in two years and will feature in Sing 2 the forthcoming movie sequel which marks Bono’s animated feature debut in the role of a reclusive former rock star lion named Clay Calloway.
