Island Records today announced details of ‘Stories Of Surrender EP’, a new, limited-edition three-track live EP from Bono, set for release on May 30 to accompany the acclaimed Apple Original Film titled “Bono: Stories of Surrender,” also available from May 30 on Apple TV+.

Listen here.

The “Stories Of Surrender EP” features live recordings of three U2 tracks – “Desire,” “The Showman” and “Sunday Bloody Sunday” – taken from Bono’s one-man stage show of the same name, itself inspired by his bestselling memoir “Surrender: 40 Songs, One Story.”

The “Stories Of Surrender EP” sees Bono joined once again by musicians Gemma Doherty (harp, keyboard, vocals) and Kate Ellis (cello, keyboard, vocals), as well as musical director Jacknife Lee.

The film “Bono: Stories of Surrender” received its worldwide premiere at this year’s Cannes Film Festival. An abridged paperback version of the autobiography, also titled “Bono: Stories of Surrender” and featuring a new introduction by Bono, has been published by Penguin Random House as a companion to the film and EP. Details here.

“Stories Of Surrender EP” will be available digitally on May 30. A 7-inch black vinyl will be released on May 30 (Ireland, U.K. and Germany) and June 13 (rest of world).

The track listing for “Stories Of Surrender EP” is:

  • “Desire (Stories Of Surrender Version)”
  • “The Showman (Stories Of Surrender Version)”
  • “Sunday Bloody Sunday (Stories Of Surrender Version)”
