Fans of the music legend will be excited about this one!
Yes, Bono is taking part in a 14-city book tour this November and of course, he couldn’t leave out the city where he was born and raised.
Described as “an evening of words, music and some mischief,” the event itself will take place at Dublin’s 3Olympia Theatre as part of his book tour for his forthcoming memoir, Surrender: 40 Songs, One Story.
Each chapter of his life will be named after one of the many iconic U2 songs.

Titled 40 Songs, One Story the memoir will be available in hardcover, ebook and audio, with the audiobook narrated by none other than Bono himself!
“When I started to write this book, I was hoping to draw in detail what I’d previously only sketched in songs. The people, places, and possibilities in my life,” said the 62-year-old.
“Surrender is a word freighted with meaning for me. Growing up in Ireland in the Seventies with my fists up (musically speaking), it was not a natural concept. A word I only circled until I gathered my thoughts for the book.”
Adding: “In these shows, I’ve got some stories to sing, and some songs to tell… Plus, I want to have some fun presenting my ME-moir, Surrender, which is really more of a WE-moir, if I think of all the people who helped me get from there to here.”
The event will take place on 21st November with tickets going on general sale Friday 7th October at 10:00am through Ticketmaster.
A two-ticket limit per person will be in place while booking for the event, with a cost of €61.95 per ticket.
While every ticket will also come with a copy of Bono’s forthcoming book.
The tour starts at New York’s Beacon Theatre and finishes at The Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles.
Surrender: 40 Songs, One Story hits bookshelves on November 1st.
