U2's Easter Lily EP came out on 3 April 2026 on Island, the label that has released the band's records since their earliest days.
It arrives in the same year as Carnaval de luz, the latest entry in a studio catalogue that stretches back to Boy in 1980 and runs through The Joshua Tree, Achtung Baby and All That You Can't Leave Behind. For anyone following the band's later chapters, from Songs of Innocence and Songs of Experience through the reworked Songs of Surrender in 2023, this EP is a short companion piece to that ongoing story.
