10 year anniversary

Well here we go, March 17th 2012, and our ten year anniversary. What better way to celebrate St Patrick's Day than with the music of the mighty Irish rock legends, U2, performed by Derby's own U2UK. Touring U2's music over the last ten years we have brought smiles to the faces of not only to the die-hard fans, but to all music lovers who never even thought they liked U2. We've covered all the great hits, all the great tours and many aspects of the shows that make U2 so famous and so well remembered in everyone's minds. Hitting on tours from Rattle and Hum to Zoo TV, through the Elevation, Vertigo and right up to the recent 360 show. We have had the honour of performing across the UK and Europe at venues from local pubs to the Ahoy Stadium in Rotterdam. We have met many wonderful people and played at many awesome events over the past ten years and have loved almost every moment along the way! We have thought long and hard about what we would like to do to celebrate our ten year anniversary and have decided that we would like to do a show that is completely different from past years, and that will bring some awesome surprises to all our loyal supporters who have followed us through the decade. We are going to celebrate by doing the show we’ve always wanted to do, playing the songs we would never have dreamed of attempting, and songs that will reach into the hearts of U2 fans and remind them of why they remain to this day a band whose lyrical genius and unique sounds can bring emotions flooding through. These are the songs that will make you stop and listen, make you remember how great music and great lyrics can transport you to another place and time. Let's start our next ten years with a bang, join us for a great evening at the Derby Assembly Rooms. March 17th, St Patrick’s Day, a Saturday night, our home town, fantastic surprises in store, don’t miss it.... We for one can't wait!!

U2UK 2012

First of all Happy New Year to all our fans, We had a great Christmas and New Year, which included playing BBC TV's Bionic Vets Christmas party. Noel Fitzpatrick is a true visionary, and more importantly a deeply warm hearted and caring man. He gave us a personal tour of his facility after we had struck down the show the following day, and whilst chatting with him about his passions and aspirations we came to realise that he gives his all for his practice, spending nearly all of his time there. For such a vast establishment which is constantly pushing the boundaries of medical science, this man offers every spare minute to the cause of helping pets and their owners through traumatic times. He has the best staff in the country on hand to help him out, and he knows all 90-plus of them by name. We decided after our afternoon with him that he is more “Bono-ic Vet” than “Bionic Vet” – his passion for his work in helping others is a true inspiration, and we are proud to be associated with such ground breaking work and such a caring individual. Onto this year and we are in the process of updating our website ready for our 2012 run of shows. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience the downtime of sections of the website may cause during the updates – we are striving to give you the best online experience when visiting us this year. We have started to list the dates for this year on the tourdates page, and we hope you will join us for what is a special year for U2UK, more dates will be added as they become more solidly confirmed. We've got some big ideas, and we are very busy in the background putting together something completely different again this year. We hope you will join us in celebrating U2 in style in 2012. The website will be updated with more information about this years show over the next few weeks. - The U2UK tribe

U2UK – Probably the best U2 tribute act in the world...

When Carlsberg decided they wanted to put on a show for their staff and clients in Bucharest next weekend – they came straight to us after our huge success at the MediaPro Film studios Buftea, Romania back in December.
The event is being held at the prestigious Silver Church venue at the rear of the Romanian Opera house in the centre of Bucharest and promises to be one hell of a night till the early hours of the morning…

If Carlsberg did after show parties….
they’d probably be the best after show parties in the world!


Bangalore, India
We would like to apologies sincerely to all of our fans in Bangalore who were expecting to see us this week. Unfortunately due to a technicality with visa applications, we were unable to fly out this week. We are all very disappointed that we were unable to attend, as all of the band were geared up and ready to put on a great show at the outdoor amphitheatre in the centre of the city. Hopefully the visas will be resolved soon and we can look forward to returning to the beautiful city of Bangalore as soon as everything is in order.


The Mill, Oxfordshire
Thanks to everyone who came to see us at The Mill in Banbury, Oxfordshire last week. As always a great reception from the crowd in one of our more favourite venues to visit. Our thanks also to the local crew and in house technicians for their hard work in getting us loaded and rigged in time.


Stoney Stanton, Leicestershire
The UK theatre tour continues again this weekend in Stoney Stanton, a smaller more intimate venue who’s claim to fame on our tour is the only venue that sells burgers, and faggots and peas during the show. There is usually a very vocal crowd turn out, as the bars stock plenty of beer to wet your whistle and keep you singing through 2 hours of great U2 music.
