U2 is making headlines in 2025 with news of a potential new album, Bono's documentary, and ongoing tour speculation. After nearly a decade since their last studio album, U2 is reportedly in the final stages of recording new material, described by Bono as "the sound of the future." The album reunites U2 with producer Brian Eno and may feature a blend of traditional influences with futuristic elements.
Bono's documentary, 'Stories of Surrender,' premiered on Apple TV+ on May 30, 2025. The film is a reimagining of his one-man stage show and explores his personal journey as a son, father, husband, activist, and rock star. It includes exclusive footage and performances of iconic U2 songs.
While there's no confirmed tour for 2025, rumors persist about potential live appearances. The Edge hinted at new music and possible concerts in the UK, Ireland, and Europe. However, producer Steve Lillywhite suggested that U2 might wait until after Oasis's reunion tour to hit the road. The band themselves have acknowledged the challenges of following up their innovative Sphere residency, suggesting they are exploring new ways to connect with audiences live.
