U2 are considering a mammoth residency at the O2 Arena in London, it has been confirmed. 
The Irish rock heroes have previously been linked with a series of gigs at the former Millennium Dome, to top Prince's 21 summer 2007 dates.
However, manager Paul McGuinness has now confirmed talks for the concerts are ongoing, as the band near completion on their new album.
"It's got great potential for U2 and because it's undercover you can do a run of shows in the autumn", he admitted.
In recent months, Bono and co have been working on their currently untitled 12th studio album with super-producer Brian Eno.
