About this episode

One of the most successful bands of all time, U2 have recently released their latest album Songs of Surrender, which sees the band revisit some of the most celebrated songs of their 40-plus-year career. Curated and produced by the Edge, classic tracks such as With or Without You, One, Beautiful Day, Sunday Bloody Sunday and Invisible undergo a musical reimagining, resulting in a completely new recording of each track, to include the arrangements and, in some cases, new lyrics. Songs of Surrender is a companion to Bono's memoir, Surrender: 40 Songs, One Story, which was published in November 2022. Bono and The Edge perform their classic hits Vertigo and One with the BBC Concert Orchestra. Plus a special cover of ABBA's S.O.S.
