The band U2 BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Rumblings in the U2 universe have started to heat up again this week. The biggest headline for fans is Bono being nominated for the music documentary and song/onscreen performance awards at the upcoming 2025 Hollywood Music in Media Awards on November 19 in Los Angeles. The nominated piece is Sunday Bloody Sunday from Bono’s Stories of Surrender documentary where, according to Variety, he draws the audience into candid tales about his family, faith, and legendary U2 songs, all from the pulpit of humility. This nomination positions Bono as both a music icon and a compelling solo storyteller, which could shape his public perception for years to come if he wins.
Business buzz this week is humming around UK and possibly European tour speculation. Hospitality Centre notes that U2 have plenty of new music “ready and some that need a little dusting off, but will be ready soon,” with Bono himself teasing a return to the raw rock power of their youth, referencing Patti Smith and Iggy Pop. While U2 have yet to officially announce the UK dates for 2025, there’s mounting anticipation about possible headline gigs at venues such as Wembley Stadium or The O2 Arena. VIP ticket registration is open, further fueling the sense that something major is imminent. If U2 does launch into a full-scale tour and new album release next year, it will mark one of the band’s most significant creative renaissances of the decade.
On the tribute beat, there’s been quite a flurry: International U2 Tribute band Desire played live at River Cree Resort & Casino on November 14, while U2TOPIA, the Mid Atlantic U2 Tribute Band, and Elevation - The U2 Tribute are selling out venues in the US for November and beyond, showing U2’s enduring popularity in live entertainment circles.
Social media has been dominated by nostalgia and debate about the band’s legacy, triggered largely by a fresh review of All That You Can’t Leave Behind in Cult Following, which praises Beautiful Day and Stuck in a Moment You Can’t Get Out Of but laments that U2 hasn’t matched that album’s heart since. The long-form feature in Louder Sound about Bono’s favorite song Miss Sarajevo has also made waves online, highlighting Bono’s creative admiration for Luciano Pavarotti and reflecting on U2’s bold side projects and activism.
Alan Cross’s music news column this Saturday referenced U2 as one of the biggest names in rock after more than 40 years, a subtle reminder that the band’s cross-generational influence remains intact. While there is speculation about Larry Mullen Jr.’s participation in future tours, nothing official has dropped—so for now, the legend continues unbroken.
In summary, U2 have been everywhere this week: nominated for major awards, hyped for new music and tours, filling tribute venues, and sparking fresh debates about their legacy. With new material teased and Bono’s solo sincerity winning over critics, the next few months could be pivotal for the band’s biographical footprint.
