U2 Honored with Woody Guthrie Prize Amidst Tour Speculation and Tribute Shows
from U2 - Biography Flash · host Inception Point AI
The band U2 BioSnap a weekly updated Biography. U2’s biggest recent news is that the band will receive the 2025 Woody Guthrie Prize in October 2025 at Cain’s Ballroom in Tulsa, Oklahoma, an honor recognizing their songwriting and social activism. That’s the only major official announcement about the band as a group in the past few days. There’s still no word on a new U2 tour or any 2025 concert dates, and the band hasn’t played live since wrapping their U2:UV Achtung Baby Live at Sphere residency in Las Vegas in March 2024. Sphere’s upcoming 2025–2026 schedule, reported by TheStreet, lists residencies for Dead & Company, Eagles, Zac Brown Band, Backstreet Boys, No Doubt, Kenny Chesney, and Phish, but no new U2 shows at Sphere or elsewhere. Hospitality Centre, which tracks major UK concerts, notes that no U2 2025 tour dates have been announced yet, though fans are speculating about possible UK stadium shows at venues like Wembley, The O2, and Manchester Arena if a tour does happen. Bono has talked in recent interviews about working on new music described as an “unreasonable guitar record,” but there’s no confirmed release date or album title beyond the 2023 project Songs of Surrender, a 40‑track reimagining of U2 songs tied to his memoir Surrender: 40 Songs, One Story. Right now, the only U2‑related events are tribute acts: a free show called Without U2 at Tony D’s Sports Bar in Chicago on December 6 and 7, 2025, and I Will Follow “U2 America,” a billed U2 concert experience, playing in North Haven, Connecticut, on December 12, 2025. There are no recent social media posts from the official U2 accounts indicating new music drops, tour rehearsals, or public appearances in the immediate past few days, and no credible reports of the band being spotted together or in the studio. For now, the story remains the Woody Guthrie Prize honor and the ongoing wait for any sign that U2 are preparing to tour again.
