City of Blinding Lights will be the third single release in the UK from' How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb'.

The new single will be released by Universal/Island on Monday June 6th.

It follows the two No.1 singles Vertigo and Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own - the first time a U2 album has produced two chart topping singles.
