Bono wrote most of it in 2014 while recovering from his bicycle accident and Dangermouse is credited as one of the 9 producers they may have tinkered with it and brought other producers in to spruce it up but essentially it's a 5 year old record from it's conception hence why I think they will be eager to get new music out in the not too distant future.

... i do know that after talking directly with Dallas, nothing is being planned for 2020 from a touring perspective... Dallas is going to be working with Bruce in some manner!
"There's also the chance that they could opt for a Achtung Baby/Zoo TV revival kind of tour, but after looking back in nostalgia to the Joshua Tree I don't think the band themselves contemplate this option - they kinda paid a 20-year tribute to AB in 2011 anyway. It would be an instant cash-cow, of course, and Livenation's greed might be the only reason why this would be an option. I pray to several gods that they don't do it."
Originally posted by StephOnTour87:Frankly I'm not hoping an "Achtung Baby Anniversary Tour". I really enjoyed they celebrated "The Joshua Tree" this way, playing the entire album in sequence, but doing this again with AB 4 years later would be too much, and would give a bad signal about what U2 is capable of, as they'll reach 60. Let's hoping for a new album, and a tour mixing old and new stuff, just like they did in the past. I'm also crossing fingers to see the band surprising us by changing their setlist from one night to another, and play songs they haven't played for a long time or never played at all : "God Part II", "11 O'Clock Tick Tock", "Please", and so on... and give a break to "Vertigo", "BD" or "Elevation".
