'Stories of Surrender'. The Book Tour.

'Stories of Surrender'. The Book Tour.

'An evening of words, music and some mischief…'. 

Live Nation and Penguin Random House have announced a 14-date city book tour in support of SURRENDER: 40 Songs, One Story, the forthcoming memoir by Bono.

The book tour, titled 'Stories of Surrender' and produced by Live Nation, is a limited run of theatre dates to mark the release of a memoir in which one of the world's most iconic artists writes for the first time about his remarkable life and those he has shared it with. Bono will bring the stories of his life to life — live and in person— to 14 cities across North America and Europe.

Kicking off at the Beacon Theatre in New York City on Wednesday, November 2, 'Stories of Surrender' will make stops in Boston, Toronto, Chicago, Nashville, San Francisco, Los Angeles, London, Glasgow, Manchester, Berlin, Paris—and Bono's hometown of Dublin— before wrapping on Monday, November 28 in Madrid.

"I miss being on stage and the closeness of U2's audience," said Bono. "In these shows I've got some stories to sing, and some songs to tell… Plus I want to have some fun presenting my ME-moir, SURRENDER, which is really more of a WE-moir if I think of all the people who helped me get from there to here".

TICKETS: Tickets go on sale starting Friday, October 7 at 10am local time and will be available at: www.ticketmaster.com/bono

Each ticket purchased comes with a copy of SURRENDER, released on November 1, and all tickets purchased online will be delivered as secure mobile tickets. There will be a two ticket limit per person.
 
SURRENDER: 40 Songs, One Story, tells the story of Bono's remarkable life, the challenges he's faced, and the friends and family who have shaped and sustained him. 

The subtitle, '40 Songs, One Story,' refers to the book's 40 chapters, each named after a U2 song. Bono has also created 40 original drawings which will be featured throughout the book. In his unique voice, Bono takes readers from his early days growing up in Dublin, including the sudden loss of his mother when he was fourteen, to U2's unlikely journey to become one of the world's most influential rock bands, to his more than twenty years of activism dedicated to the fight against AIDS and extreme poverty. 

Writing with candor, self-reflection, and humor, Bono opens the aperture on his life—and the family, friends, and faith that have sustained, challenged, and shaped him.

Priceless
Bono took us to church that evening in Paris. In sharing his most vulnerable familial experiences, he illuminated why his songs saved my life. No wonder every lyric has spoken to me. The support he's had through out his life has enabled him to support others through song and his advocacy efforts. If I could see it every night for a year, I would.

Once in a lifetime event in Los Angeles
I went to the show last night in Los Angeles and it was truly a beautiful experience. It was stripped down, intimate and extremely powerful. We all know Bono is a natural story teller and it made tonight even more special since he was telling his story. He moved from one memory into a song into the next memory. It was spectacular and moving. It went by in a moment and I wished it would not end.

Wow
This evening was like attending a church revival and a rock concert, and sitting down with a good friend to reminisce. Awesome show.

Night to remember in Boston
I have been a fan of U2 since 1984 when I was 15 and have seen them 14 times over the years. U2's music has been the soundtrack of my life. Bono's book tour show was truly an unforgettable night. I have never seen anything quite like it. Bono demonstrated why he is The Showman. He brought the audience along on a trip through his life of joy and sadness, laughter and tears. What a gift he gave the audience in telling his story through some of the best songs ever written!

Driving from Birmingham and this was something I couldn’t pass up. I hope by a miracle I can get Bono to sign the book. Been a fan since 1980, have attended 14 concerts.

Bono in Boston
So excited to see Bono this coming Friday in Boston. Bringing my 80 y/o mom who is super excited to see him. She's been a fan as long as I have and always wanted to see him but never has. Maybe Bono can say hi to my mom Pam!!! Thanks for so many memories and new ones to come. Jeff

Chicago on our 25th wedding anniversary!
My wife and I will be at the Chicago show on the very night of our 25th anniversary! We're both lifelong fans and have seen every U2 tour together since ten days before our wedding at PopMart in Minneapolis. We even made the rookie mistake of quoting "One" in our wedding program ;). Looking forward to a special night together again with a guy who knows a thing or two about long-term relationships (both with Ali and with Edge, Larry and Adam)!

Worth it for a kid?
My 8 year old son has become a HUGE U2 fan since the pandemic. (Dad is a lifelong fan. 25+ shows) I was able to get a pair of tickets for Boston. Im wondering what everyone's thoughts are on how these performances will go? I'd love to take my boy, but think it will be too slow and "grown up" for his first U2 experience? Do I wait until 2023?
