U2 have revealed that the title of their upcoming album is Carnaval de Luz, which translates as Carnival of Light.

Frontman Bono shared the title as he and the other members of U2 - The Edge, Adam Clayton, and Larry Mullen Jr - joined The Irish Times' Róisín Ingle on a podcast to mark the band's 50th anniversary.

"It's strong stuff," said the singer.

"Am I allowed say the name of the album or not?" he asked.

"It's Carnaval de Luz," he continued.

U2 will release their new single, Silencio, on Thursday.

Further details on the album are due this week.

The record is U2's first LP of original material since 2017's Songs of Experience.
