U2 prepare to launch new LP & played surprise set in Hollywood

U2 are preparing to announce details for their new album - their first since 2009's No Line On The Horizon. The band reportedly spent the week in Santa Monica shooting an album video/trailer which is expected to air during the Super Bowl. Other reports suggest the band will unveil a new song along with the video during the Super Bowl. The new album from U2 is expected to be released in April though the band has not confirmed a release date.

UPDATE @ 11:08 AM: U2 performed an unannounced three song acoustic set last night at Sean Penn's Help Haiti Home Gala benefit at the Hollywood Ballroom. So far video of the performance isn't available but a collage of photos has appeared on You Tube and can be viewed below:
