U2 have released their first new single in two years, 'Ahimsa'.

The song's title is the Sanskrit word for non-violence, and is a collaboration with Indian composer A.R. Rahman. The band will play their first ever show in India next month.

Dee Reddy and Paddy Cullivan gave their thoughts on the track in our music slot and also discussed Fontaines DC winning BBC 6 Music's album of the year award, news of Snow Patrol's cancelled Olympia concert, Björk at the 3Arena this week, and Westlife claiming 2019's fastest-selling album with Spectrum.
