U2 played a new track, Breaking Wave, on August 21 of this year at their show in Helsinki, Finland, reports Relaxnews.
This song, which can now be heard on the web, should be the first single from the forthcoming album, Songs of Ascent.
Earlier in August, at the first show of the European leg of the 360° Tour in Turin, Italy, U2 already had Glastonbury, North Star and Return of the Stingray Guitar, three new songs from their forthcoming album, on the setlist.
Having having played Every Breaking Wave, a slow acoustic song, U2 frontman Bono told the audience: "Nobody has heard this yet, not even us."
Bono had explained that he wanted the track on U2’s previous disc, No Line On The Horizon, which they launched in 2009, but instead, it’ll be the first single from Songs of Ascent, which will be released by the end of 2010.
