The band U2 BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

U2 has had quite an active few days with multiple significant developments capturing attention across music and media. Most recently, the band received the 2025 Woody Guthrie Prize, with Bono and The Edge traveling to Tulsa, Oklahoma to accept the honor on October twenty-first. The Woody Guthrie Prize recognizes artists who embody the spirit of Woody Guthrie's social conscience and musical legacy. At the ceremony held at Cain's Ballroom, the two band members participated in a wide-ranging conversation moderated by legendary producer T Bone Burnett. They also delivered an acoustic performance featuring running to stand still, Sunday bloody Sunday, One, and Pride in the name of love. U2 X-Radio on Sirius XM has been broadcasting this special evening throughout the week, with multiple airings scheduled through early December for North American listeners.

Beyond the Tulsa ceremony, band members continue pursuing individual projects. Adam Clayton recently appeared as a guest on a new Sky Arts series called Greatest Basslines, which premiered in the UK and Ireland, featuring conversations and performances from some of the world's most accomplished bassists including members from Joy Division, Foo Fighters, and Hole. Meanwhile, Bono has joined the voice cast for an upcoming three-D animated film called Outfoxed about a family of foxes on the run, featuring an all-Irish voice cast according to Screen Daily.

On the musical front, the band is actively working on new material for an upcoming album. According to reliable sources close to the band, U2 is on track for a Fall twenty twenty-six release, with a single expected to arrive next summer to kick off the promotional campaign. The band reportedly feels confident they're in the final stretch of completing the record, with work nearing completion.

Looking ahead, the band has ruled out performing at Slane Castle in twenty twenty-six, putting to rest recent rumors about a potential Irish festival appearance. Instead, Luke Combs will headline that venue with support from The Script.

Tribute bands continue celebrating U2's legacy as well, with performances like Mysterious Ways bringing a Christmas twist to U2's catalog at venues across the country, including a December twelfth show at the Landis Theater in Vineland, New Jersey.
