U2 to preview new album on BBC Radio 1 later this month

Washington, February 14 (ANI): Irish rock band U2 will be performing songs from their new album 'No Line on the Horizon' on BBC Radio 1 later this month.

An announcement made in this respect said that Bono and other band members will play three songs for a session in the Radio 1 Live Lounge on February 27, before appearing on Chris Evans' Radio 2 show later that day.

According to reports, their Live Lounge appearance coincides with DJ Jo Whiley's return to Radio 1 after five months' maternity leave.

"Time has flown and I'm very excited about getting back to my show and being reunited with my radio family," Contactmusic quoted her as saying.

"It's always a bit nerve-racking going back after having a baby but having U2, one of the world's biggest bands, playing in the Live Lounge and debuting new songs from their very fine latest album is especially thrilling," she added.

U2's new single 'Get On Your Boots' is scheduled for release on February 16. (ANI)
