U2's new tour will be a "feat of genius".

The Irish rockers have been secretly creating a technologically-advanced stage set for when they hit the road later this year, and have promised fans something spectacular.

Frontman Bono, 48, said: "It's fair to say what we've planned for our outdoor shows has never been done before and that we've been working on it for a long time.

Before they go on their proposed tour, U2 will debut their new single 'Get On Your Boots' - taken from their upcoming album 'No Line On The Horizon' - at this year's BRIT Awards on February 18
