U2’s global hit album "All That You Can’t Leave Behind" will be celebrated with a multi format 20th anniversary reissue by Island and Universal Music on October 30th 2020, the exact date of its original 2000 release. The new versions will feature a new 12 track remaster of the record and a 51 track super deluxe box set. The anniversary is also being marked by the release of an acoustic version of one of the album’s best loved songs, “Stuck In A Moment You Can’t Get Out Of”.

"All That You Can’t Leave Behind" was U2’s 10th studio album and went to # 1 in 32 countries around the world. The original 11 track set included the hit singles “Beautiful Day”, “Stuck In A Moment You Can’t Get Out Of”, “Elevation” and “Walk On”. Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno produced the album, which was recorded in Dublin and France.

The new remaster of "All That You Can’t Leave Behind" will be available as a 12 track version, including the additional track “The Ground Beneath Her Feet” in all formats. The super deluxe box set will offer a 32 page hardback book from longtime friend and collaborator Anton Corbijn. This features a wide selection of previously unseen images of the band, along with Corbijn’s hand written notes, and a double sided poster.

The box set boasts a mighty 39 additional bonus tracks, including remastered non album b-sides, outtakes from the album sessions, and “Stateless”, which was included on soundtrack of 'The Million Dollar Hotel'. An acoustic version of “Stuck In A Moment You Can’t Get Out Of” is also included.

Further attractions include the complete 19 track live audio of U2’s performance at the Fleet Center in Boston, MA, on the 'Elevation Tour' in June 2001. That live set includes 7 tracks from "All That You Can’t Leave Behind". There are 11 remixes, 4 of which are previously unheard and were recently unearthed in the band’s Dublin archives.

The 20th anniversary editions of "All That You Can’t Leave Behind" are released on October 30th, 2020.
