Summary
U2 and Martin Garrix just dropped a firestorm of a track called “Fireflies,” with The Edge making a surprise live appearance at Tomorrowland — the first time all four U2 members officially teamed up with Garrix on a song. Garrix, who’s been deep in U2’s camp producing their Easter Lily EP and a UEFA 2019 track, called the collaboration surreal and electric, while The Edge raved about the outdoor energy and the band’s legendary chemistry. This new single is a teaser for U2’s upcoming 50th-anniversary album, their first full-length since 2023’s Songs of Surrender. Meanwhile, Garrix’s summer has been packed with collabs — Madonna, Ed Sheeran, and now U2 — proving he’s the ultimate producer of global hits.
