'Bono: Stories of Surrender' premiering May 30 on Apple TV+

Apple Original Films have announced the groundbreaking new documentary event Bono: Stories of Surrender, a lyrical, bold visual exploration of Bono’s one-man show by the same name, to premiere globally on Friday, May 30, 2025 on Apple TV+. 

With all of the powerful emotions of a stadium tour, along with all of the intimate storytelling of a one-man show, Surrender: 40 Songs, One Story is based on Bono’s memoir and accompanying book and theatre tour which visited 14 cities in 2022, ahead of a run at the Beacon Theatre in New York City, plus a very special one-off show at the oldest opera house in the world Teatro di San Carlo in Naples.

Bono: Stories of Surrender is a vivid reimagining of Bono’s critically-acclaimed one-man stage show, ‘Stories of Surrender: An Evening of Words, Music and Some Mischief…’, as he pulls back the curtain on a remarkable life and the family, friends, and faith that have challenged and sustained him, revealing personal stories about his journey as a son, father, husband, activist and rockstar. Along with never-before-seen, exclusive footage from the Beacon Theatre shows, the film features Bono performing many of the iconic U2 songs that have shaped his life and legacy, along with musicians Jacknife Lee, Kate Ellis and Gemma Doherty.

Also set to premiere on May 30, 2025 on Apple Vision Pro, Bono: Stories of Surrender (Immersive) will be the first feature-length film available in Apple Immersive Video, a remarkable media format recorded in 8K with Spatial Audio to produce a 180-degree video that places viewers onstage with Bono and in the center of his story. With this special edition of the film available only on Vision Pro, viewers will feel immersed in the music and storytelling of Surrender. Releasing an immersive version of the film for Vision Pro alongside its debut on Apple TV+ is the latest example of Bono’s enduring commitment to innovation. Since U2’s earliest days, the band have consistently pushed boundaries and embraced new technologies to forge deeper connections with their audience.
The film hails from RadicalMedia and Plan B Entertainment, with award-winning filmmaker Andrew Dominik (The Assassination of Jesse James, Blonde) directing.
