U2 will be the featured musical guest on NBC-TV’s Saturday Night Live on December 2.
The band will appear on the episode guest-hosted by Lady Bird actress and fellow Irishwoman Saoirse Ronan on the day after the release of their new album, “Songs Of Experience.”
The broadcast will mark U2’s fourth performance on the long-running late night program.
The companion to 2014’s “Songs Of Innocence” was completed earlier this year with a series of producers – including Jacknife Lee and Ryan Tedder, Steve Lillywhite, Andy Barlow and Jolyon Thomas – following recording sessions in Dublin, New York and Los Angeles.
The two projects draw inspiration from a collection of poems, “Songs Of Innocence And Experience”, by the 18th century English mystic and poet William Blake.
U2 will begin a North American tour in support of “Songs Of Experience” on May 2 in Tulsa, OK.
