Several outlets report that U2 will feature on a new tribute album honoring late Pogues frontman Shane MacGowan. RTE News (Ireland) and The Independent both say U2 are among the latest artists confirmed for the project, which celebrates MacGowan’s songs. Newsweek adds that U2 has contributed a track to the album titled “20th Century Paddy – The Songs of Shane MacGowan.”
Taken together, the coverage indicates that the compilation is currently being assembled with multiple artists contributing recordings of MacGowan’s work. While the reports agree on U2’s involvement and the overall purpose and framing of the album as a tribute, they do not provide further shared details about release dates, track listings beyond U2’s contribution, or which specific U2 song is included. The information is presented as confirmation of participation rather than as a detailed announcement of other album specifics.
