U2uk

U2uk is a tribute act performing the songs of U2, the Irish rock band, in a show marking fifty years of the group. This is a homage to U2's catalogue, not a performance by the original band.

U2uk has more than twenty years of international touring behind it and recreates the sound of U2 across four decades of recordings. The programme draws on the early albums Boy and War, moves through The Joshua Tree, and reaches the Achtung Baby period and later material.

In concert, the act relies on soaring guitars, atmospheric visuals and a lead vocal that the show presents as strikingly close to the original singing. The set follows U2's catalogue era by era, so the sequence of the band's changing styles is heard in order.

The night is aimed at those who want to hear U2's songs performed live, with the material arranged as a chronological tour of the band's output. The Old Woollen hosts concerts and shows in Leeds, and this event is part of its rock programme.
