To the disappointment of several members here,  no,  they are not done.  In fact it is believed that they are currently working on a rock album in the vein of AC/DC (not a joke) according to Bono (okay so maybe its bullshit) and also they have another more atmospheric project that may or may not see the light of day.

And there are rumors of stadium tours in Europe next year.

There will be a tour, my guess is 2026 to mark the 50th anniversary. Based on lack of news, I, guessing the next album won’t come out this year. The AC/DC comment is a terrible omen. U2 won’t write good hard-rock.

As an artistic force they are on life support. Biden like 1000 yard state with mouth wide open. As a money making Corp there’s still some cash to be made.

U2 are definitely buried in the studio day and night and are diligently finishing the two albums they have been promising us for years....

It feels like they're done, mostly since nothing much seems to have been accomplished over the last few years. A Vegas residency and a boring album of unnecessary acoustic songs hardly instills confidence in the future. Time will tell.

One first needs to define the parameters of what one is attempting to quantify; define ‘done’?

If by ‘done’ you mean they are splitting up, I very much doubt it

If by ‘done’ you mean they are spent as a creative force, I think they probably are, given their last 4 dismal singles. But I’m an open minded kind of chap so am willing to give them the benefit of the doubt

They might have the odd good song left in them but overall their next album will be just meh.

They're already gone. Felt that way all along.
Listen as Hope and Peace try to rhyme,
Listen over marching bands playing out their time.

Last I heard was an album will not be released in 2024.

The reason - they don't want to rush things.

Quite right to. After all Songs of Experience was only 7 years ago.
