"BONO & THE EDGE: A SORT OF HOMECOMING WITH DAVE LETTERMAN' will premiere on DISNEY+ on ST. PATRICK'S DAY, MARCH 17th, coinciding with U2’s new album "SONGS OF SURRENDER." a collection of 40 songs from across the band’s catalog, re-recorded and reimagined.  The special, directed by MORGAN NEVILLE, follows DAVID LETTERMAN on his first visit to DUBLIN to meet up with BONO and THE EDGE in their hometown. 

DISNEY BRANDED TELEVISION President AYO DAVIS said, “BONO and THE EDGE are the force behind one of the most prolific and influential acts in the history of rock and roll, and we are honored to bring this truly intimate look at their beginnings, friendship, and creative process to a global audience on DISNEY+."

BRIAN GRAZER and RON HOWARD's IMAGINE DOCUMENTARIES joined with NEVILLE's TREMELO PRODUCTIONS and LETTERMAN's WORLDWIDE PANTS as producers for the feature, part concert movie, part travel adventure plus "a whole lot of BONO and THE EDGE, with DAVE’s humor throughout."

LETTERMAN said, "I recently won a radio contest. Winner gets to visit DUBLIN with BONO and THE EDGE. They showed me around, introduced me to their musician friends, and performed some of their greatest songs in a small theater. It’s a great tour. Get in touch with them. I’m told there are still availabilities. I’m the luckiest man on the planet. (There are no availabilities).” 

NEVILLE said, “I fell in love with U2 and DAVID LETTERMANa at roughly the same time, somewhere around my sophomore year of high school. That somehow decades later we would all come together in IRELAND to make this show an unlikely dream somehow come to life.”
