Stories of Surrender EP
Stories of Surrender EP is a short release from U2, put out on Island on 30 May 2025. It takes its name from Songs of Surrender, the band's 2023 album, and arrives as a companion to that project in a catalogue that stretches back to Boy in 1980.
For anyone who has followed the band from The Joshua Tree through Achtung Baby and on into the 2000s, it sits as a side note rather than a new chapter, and it makes sense to hear it alongside Songs of Surrender.
