Dutch DJ and producer Martin Garrix and U2 have teamed up for a brand-new song.

The artists have released "Fireflies," which Garrix debuted on July 17 at the Tomorrowland festival in Belgium, with The Edge making a surprise appearance.

While Bono and The Edge previously collaborated with Garrix on "We Are the People," the official song for UEFA Euro 2020, "Fireflies" marks the first time all four members of U2 have appeared on a Garrix track.

"'Fireflies' has a very unique mood and it's a special song we started working on six summers ago," Garrix said. "I've worked with Bono and Edge before, but working with the whole band I got to get a glimpse of their chemistry and why U2 are who they are. They are incredible friends and collaborators, and it has been an absolute honor to work with them again."

"We go back a long way with Martin, and there's always a sense of adventure whenever we get together," said The Edge. "Playing 'Fireflies' for the first time at Tomorrowland, in front of one of the most passionate festival crowds anywhere, was such a rush … in fact I might have enjoyed it a bit too much. It reminded me of why I love playing outdoors. I like it better when there's no ceiling."

"Fireflies" is available now through digital music outlets.

This isn't the first new music from U2 this month. Earlier in July, the band released "Street of Dreams," the first single from its upcoming album, which does not yet have a release date.
