U2, which until this year had not released a batch of newly written material since 2017, is really starting to prolifically make up for lost time. At the stroke of midnight on the east coast, as Good Friday was ushered in, the band released “Easter Lily,” its second six-song EP of 2026.

With this release, U2 has bookended Lent with two very different collections. This new one follows on the heels of “Days of Ash,” which came out for Ash Wednesday on Feb. 18. That six-song set was largely concerned with war and strife in different parts of the world, while “Easter Lily,” as the title might suggest, has gentler and more spiritually themed material.
