I have seen many U2 tributes and I saw these guys at House Of Blues in Dallas and was blown away by how much these guys sound like U2 and how much detail they put into costuming and theatrics. Definitely must see if you're a U2 fan!
WOWU2 performed for the WildRide Against Cancer on May 19, 2012. This is a fund raiser designed to benefit the Methodist Richardson Medical Center Cancer center. The band was great and really helped our cause. They played outdoors in a very windy location. Despite battling the wind they put on a great show and really entertained our volunteers and riders in the bike race. These guys are easy to work with, responsive and good communicators. AND, they can really play some awesome U2 music. Thanks to Maverick and the rest of the band!

What to Expect
Vertigo comes complete with a stunning light and LED synchronized video show, documenting U2's spectacular career as the band rocks live. (LED screens provided at the buyers cost or worked into the fee)
Vertigo's Bono commands the stage as a preeminent showman, fluently belting out the most difficult notes ever sung by the real Bono whilst effortlessly and swiftly transforming into the many eras of the singer's storied career. The multi-instrumentalist morphs from the young, angry, white flag toting, Red Rocks Bono to, The Fly, Mr. Macphisto, and the beloved Vertigo era Bono, complete with identical rock-star shades and costumes.
Lastly expect only the best in musicianship. Fans from childhood, and musicians soon after, this band has been performing the music of U2 together since the year 2000! The band provides a full audio and visual engagement filling up every sonic hole in any room, on any stage, at any venue.
About
Vertigo comprises of accomplished musicians from all over the world! Vertigo's Bono, originally from San Antonio, grew up a U2 fan since his preteens and began a career as a vocalist at 19 years of age! Vertigo's Edge is originally from Manchester England who's mastery of the guitar brought him to the US. Vertigo's Adam Clayton was born and raised at the center of the core in Dublin Ireland who also emigrated to the US wielding his bass guitar like a battle axe and hasn't looked back. Vertigo's Larry Mullen Jr is originally from Richardson Texas where the music of U2 and LMJ's drumming inspired him to pick up the sticks and give his gift of stylish tempo to U2 fans.
