U2 is set to release a new album.The band's main man Bono told Rolling Stone that they are working on 'club-sounding' album. U2 also plans to release a rock album and Songs of Ascent. The latter is a set of tunes from the recording session of the band's 2009 No Line On the Horizon. Last May, Bono had to undergo emergency back surgery in Munich. U2's 360-degrees World Tour resumed on August 6 in Turin. Reports say that U2 will bring their tour to Australia this December.
