I’m ready, I don’t know about you.

It does look like rock super group U2 is about to announce something for its 50th anniversary.

A new post has gone up on social media showing the video history of the band. It ends with them taking the stage at the Sphere in Las Vegas.

We already knew a new album was being worked on. U2 has already issued a couple of EPs and single in the last year. The album was inevitable. A new single, “Silencio,” is coming next Friday.

U2 is managed by Jeffrey and Irving Azoff, who’ve pretty much dominated the Sphere with the Eagles over the last couple of years. So all of this makes a lot of sense.

I’m not a big fan of Las Vegas, but I will start packing now.
