U2 is working on material for its next studio album with producer Rick Rubin, according to the band’s Web site. The group has been at work on the as-yet-untitled follow-up to 2004’s “How To Dismantle an Atomic Bomb” since last month. While in the studio, U2 will be joined by Green Day to record a cover of Scottish punk band the Skids‘ “The Saints Are Coming.”
Meanwhile, a DVD chronicling U2‘s Zoo TV tour will arrive Sept. 19 via Island/UME.
