According to U2's official website, the band's new record will hit the shelves on March 2, 2009.

No Line On The Horizon, recorded between studios in Morocco, New York, London and Dublin, is the much-anticipated follow-up to 2004's How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb.

The New Year release should help the band in their quest to make '09 their year, with Bono previously enthusing about "defying gravity" with this record.
