W2 – The UK’s most authentic U2 tribute act

W2 are a U2 Tribute Band who play anthems and heavy hitters from the Irish legend’s forty year back catalogue. From the punk-influenced roots of the early 80s and stadium filling anthems of their record breaking tours of the 90s, to obscure B-Sides and occasional modern day gems from their last couple of albums of the 2010s, W2 have a set list of well over fifty songs to choose from.

W2 were established back in 1998 and played up and down the UK for well over a decade. After a lengthy sabbatical the lads decided to reform and after a change to the original line up have been practicing relentlessly for the last few months. After honing their craft for several months, W2 are ready to take the tribute circuit by storm in 2019 and beyond.

Without a doubt, W2 are the most AUTHENTIC U2 tribute band in the UK.

Reviews

“I attended this gig with much anticipation after I last saw them playing in Gourock in September last year, so suitably impressed I was that I wrote them a review of that gig that I felt was well justified. Here is the review of last night’s gig at the Custom House Hotel in Greenock….”

Testimonials

Walked in last night expecting to see some cheesy U2 tribute act…Boy was I wrong! You guys absolutely nailed it….even better than the real thing!

Absolutely brilliant. Best tribute band I’ve ever seen. My girlfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed the show. Definitely come see you again.

W2 are one of the best tribute bands we have ever worked with. Very professional band with a great set up. They use the same gear as U2 and sound exactly like them. The band played a set jam-packed with all the hits and really got the crowd going. W2 were a pleasure to work with and we’ll definitely have them back soon. They really are U2!!

W2 played our festival and helped us to achieve, without doubt, our most successful festival to date. The atmosphere W2 created got the audience bouncing all the way through the 1 hour 15 minute set. A totally professional and first class U2 tribute band – maybe “even better than the real thing”. It was a pleasure dealing with the guys and I would fully recommend booking W2 for a guaranteed good time!

“You guys are on a level way above my venue, you should be playing huge gigs to thousands of people every night!”
