Ahead of the 2010 tour dates, Paul McGuinness has been talking to Rolling Stone about the chances of a new record this year.

'There certainly won't be an album before June,' he says. 'However before the end of the year is increasingly likely. What would be really quite interesting would be if some of that material were to be released onstage and on record between now and the fall.'

And with just a few weeks before the first 2010 dates, Edge drops some clues about the show: 'I can't imagine that we would come back and continue with that exact same stage show. I think we'll naturally want to develop and adapt it.'
