U2 Films ‘Street of Dreams’ Video in Mexico City’s Centro Histórico

The shoot tees up a new album planned for later this year.

Overview

  • U2 recorded the video for “Street of Dreams” in the Plaza de Santo Domingo on Tuesday, turning parts of the Centro Histórico into a closed-street set.
  • Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Jr. performed on the roof of a school bus painted by Mexican artist Chavis Mármol.
  • A sudden storm knocked out power, and the band shifted to an acoustic mini-set from a nearby balcony as fans gathered below.
  • Producers enlisted roughly 1,500 Mexican U2.com subscribers as extras through a quiet email call, filling crowd scenes around the plaza.
  • City and national leaders courted the group during Street Child World Cup events, including a Zócalo invite from Mexico City’s Clara Brugada, though no concert is set.
