Bono and The Edge will accept the 2025 Woody Guthrie Prize on behalf of U2 on Oct. 21 in Tulsa at Cain’s Ballroom.
This prestigious award annually recognizes a recipient who embodies the spirit of Woody Guthrie’s social consciousness and musical legacy. In their art and in their actions, U2 band members Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton, and Larry Mullen Jr. continue a tradition of using music as a force for social change, echoing Guthrie’s belief that songs can help make the world a fairer place.
Bono and The Edge will return to Cain’s Ballroom – for the first time since U2’s 1981 show on the U.S. leg of The Boy Tour – to accept the award and participate in an onstage conversation about the band’s music. They look forward to legally buying their own pints this time around.
The fundraising evening will also feature remarks from center director, Cady Shaw, and Woody Guthrie’s granddaughter, Anna Canoni, who will share her family’s appreciation of U2 as the standard bearers of Woody’s legacy.
A limited number of experience packages will be available for sponsors and members of the Woody Guthrie Center.
The 2025 Woody Guthrie Prize is presented by the Harper House Music Foundation.
