U2 open the vault on All That You Can't Leave Behind

A super deluxe edition lands on 20 October with 39 extra tracks and the full Boston Elevation show, while Carnaval De Luz follows on 13 November.

Island Records and Universal Music have set a remastered and expanded reissue of U2's 2000 album All That You Can't Leave Behind for release on 20 October 2026. The date lines up with the album's original release, and the campaign spans multiple formats, including a super deluxe box set.

The deluxe edition adds 39 tracks beyond the original record. Remastered B-sides in the package include Summer Rain, Always, Big Girls Are Best and Don't Take Your Guns To Town. Alternate takes drawn from the sessions include Levitate, Love You Like Mad and Flower Child. Stateless, first issued on the Million Dollar Hotel soundtrack, is included, and a previously available acoustic version of Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of is offered as a digital preview.

The Elevation night and the remixes

Live work forms a substantial part of the expanded edition. The full Elevation Tour performance from the Fleet Center in Boston in June 2001 is included, freezing an entire night rather than a handful of single cuts. Alongside it runs a collection of 11 remixes, one of them a version of Walk On by Wyclef Jean. An unreleased version of The Ground Beneath Her Feet appears across the formats.

For a record that many listeners already know by heart, the weight of the reissue falls on the surrounding material — the B-sides left off the original, the session work that never made the final sequence, the soundtrack cut, the remixes and the complete Boston show. The remaster anchors the package; the extras give it its reason to exist beyond a simple catalogue refresh.

Anniversary year, new album next

The campaign lands in U2's 50th anniversary year. The Irish band from Dublin, with Bono and The Edge as its most visible members, are placing their catalogue and new studio work in the same autumn window. Carnaval De Luz, their new studio album, is scheduled for 13 November 2026. Limited edition deluxe CD and vinyl box sets for that release will carry the new 12-track album together with the Days Of Ash and Easter Lily EPs.

The All That You Can't Leave Behind announcement came on or around 2 October 2026. That leaves only weeks between the expanded reissue and the new album's release date, a tight sequence that keeps both the 2000 record and the fresh material in view at once.

What remains clear from the confirmed details is the shape of each package. The reissue is built around the remastered album, the 39 additional studio and soundtrack pieces, the Boston Elevation show and the remix run. The Carnaval De Luz deluxe editions are built around the 12 new tracks and the two accompanying EPs. Pricing and exact track orders beyond the named titles remain unconfirmed, but the release dates and the broad contents are fixed.

In practical terms, listeners who want the deep dive into the 2000 album and the tour that followed it have 20 October marked. Those waiting for the new songs have 13 November. Between them sits a 50th anniversary year in which U2 are treating the catalogue and the next chapter as parts of the same stretch of work.
