While no-one can be Even Better Than The Real Thing, U2-II strive to be startlingly close. Having performed for
over three years as U2 tribute act, the band have honed their craft to perfection and are matched by no-one in how
close they have achieved the layered sound of Dublin’s finest.

The band have been together for over a decade performing original material, and in 2005 started as U2-II. After
two years of regular performances they parted ways with their previous singer and took time out to recruit a new
Bono, which eventually became Gareth Whiteside. U2-II hail from the North-West of England.

U2-II are dedicated fans of Bono et al, and this is telling when seeing the band live. While the on-stage behaviour
and mannerisms of U2 are copied to perfection, the band’s creation and use of their own backing tracks allows
them to recreate the layered, cinematic sound that makes U2 so special. There is not one single sound that U2-II
have missed out on, and it’s this attention to detail that separates the band from the other tributes out there today.

The similarities do not end there, as the live performances evoke the energy of U2’s colossal shows, and physically
the band bear striking resemblences to Bono, Edge, Adam and Larry. You no longer have to close your eyes to
think that it could actually be the real thing.

U2-II are a self-contained tribute act and can play in pubs, clubs, theatres. They are also available for private
functions such as birthdays and weddings.. you won’t be disappointed! Whilst being based in the North-West of
England, the band will play in the Uk and abroad.

So while we await the return of the greatest band in the world, come and catch the heirs to the throne while you
can!
