“Easter Lily” is the second EP released by U2 in 2026. The EP is produced by Jacknife Lee. It follows “Days of Ash“ which was released on Ash Wednesday, February 18, 2026. Like “Days of Ash“ the digital EP is accompanied by a new issue of Propaganda magazine, which features track information and liner notes. As we shared when we published our “Days of Ash“ entry, Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent, a 40-day (excluding Sundays) countdown focused on prayer and fasting leading up to Easter. And in true U2 fashion, that meaning had double significance, with a second EP arriving on Good Friday to celebrate Easter. The Easter Lily itself has ties to Ireland, and is a symbol to many of the 1916 Easter Rising and later conflicts leading to independence. The flower is worn during Easter as a symbol of remembrance and the purity of Christ. The songs on the EP do have ties to Easter with titles such as “Easter Parade” and “Resurrection Song.” The EP consists of five songs and a sixth track described as a soundscape by Brian Eno, which U2 have completed with Jacknife Lee. Support the artists buying the record.
