"The thunder and rain crashed the generator for the film shoot", stated the band online. "Which meant a bewildered but welcoming neighbour let the U2ers crash their apartment at dinner time and out to their balcony".

They were also joined by drummer Larry Mullen Jr. Due to neck and back injuries, he missed the band's 2023-2024 Las Vegas residency at the Sphere, with Bram van den Berg filling in. It was the first time Mullen had missed a U2 show since 1978.

In April, they surprise released their EP Easter Lily. Released on April 3, it coincided with Good Friday, and was the second in a pair of six-track EPs released to finish the Lent season. Their previous EP Days of Ash, was released on February 18, Ash Wednesday.

U2's last album was Songs of Surrender, it was re-recorded material released in 2023. Prior to that, their last studio album featuring new material was Songs of Experience, released in 2017.
