FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT u2BABY

CAN I BOOK YOU FOR A PRIVATE EVENT? Yes! We love to do private events. Just send us some information via our contact page and we’ll be in touch.

WHERE ARE U2BABY PLAYING NEXT? All of our public events are listed on our shows page. This provides ticket links, maps and more!

ARE YOU ANY GOOD? CAN I SEE LIVE VIDEOS OF THE BAND? Yes we have some on our site here and also on our YouTube channel. All videos are captured live with no overdubs.

CAN I GET TICKETS FROM YOU DIRECT? No, all ticketing is handled by the venues or the promoters. Please contact them for any ticketing queries.

HOW LONG IS A TYPICAL U2BABY SET? Our standard show is two sets of around 60 minutes each, with a short 20 minute break in between — typically around two and a quarter hours of music in total. We can also perform a single-set show or a shorter festival set. Just let us know what you need when you get in touch.

WHICH U2 ERAS DO YOU COVER? All of them. Our repertoire spans U2's full career — from the early post-punk energy of Boy and October, through the iconic stadium anthems of The Joshua Tree and Achtung Baby, right through to Songs of Innocence and Songs of Experience. We don't just play the hits — we also recreate iconic live versions that capture the spontaneous power of a real U2 concert.

DO YOU TAKE REQUESTS? We're always happy to hear what people want — and if it's a song we already know, we'll do our best to include it. For private events, we can sometimes learn a specific song on request if we have enough notice. Get in touch and we'll see what we can do.

ARE YOU OFFICIALLY CONNECTED TO OR ENDORSED BY U2? We're not officially affiliated with U2 or their management — we're an independent tribute act. That said, our credibility in U2 fan circles speaks for itself. We've been the trusted band for official Dublin fan events, and Guggi — one of Bono's oldest friends, quoted in Hotpress — said "I thought U2Baby were amazing! And it was easier to get in."

WHAT'S THE STORY BEHIND THE DUBLIN FAN PARTIES? U2Baby are a regular at Welcome to the Northside, the official Dublin fan parties that take place when U2 are in town. We've performed at The Church in Dublin — one of the city's most iconic venues — for these events, which attract U2 fans from around the world. Being trusted with those nights is something we're genuinely proud of. We’re the only U2 tribute to play both the 40th and 50th (Sept 2026) Welcome To The Northside events.

DO YOU HAVE A MAILING LIST I CAN JOIN? No — but the best way to stay up to date is to follow us on social media, where we announce shows, share videos, and post news as it happens. All our upcoming public shows are also listed on our Shows page. You can also join a Whatsapp group - links are all in the footer of each page.

WHERE CAN I FOLLOW U2BABY ON SOCIAL MEDIA? You can find us on Facebook and Instagram. Search for U2Baby and follow along — we'd love to see you there.

HOW FAR DO U2BABY TRAVEL? We're based in the UK and regularly perform across England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland. We've also performed internationally — including Monaco, Bahrain and Warsaw. Distance isn't usually a barrier; just get in touch and we'll talk through what's involved.

HOW MANY BAND MEMBERS ARE IN U2BABY? U2Baby is a four-piece, mirroring U2's classic lineup: vocals/guitar, lead guitar, bass, and drums. We recreate the authentic U2 sound without needing a large touring crew.

DO YOU BRING YOUR OWN PA AND BACKLINE? This depends on the show format. For many gigs we work with the venue's existing PA and backline, though we do work with Epic Productions for certain events. We're flexible and experienced at working with what venues have in place. Full technical requirements are available on request.

WHAT ARE YOUR STAGE AND TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS? We can accommodate a range of stage sizes, from intimate club stages to large festival setups. A full technical rider is available on request — just drop us a line via our Contact page and we'll send it over.

CAN YOU DO A SHORTER SET FOR A FESTIVAL OR SUPPORT SLOT? Absolutely. We're experienced at adapting our set length to suit the event — whether that's a 60-minute festival slot or a 90-minute headline set. Let us know what you're working with and we'll build something that fits.

WHAT SETS U2BABY APART FROM OTHER U2 TRIBUTES? Three things our clients consistently mention: the authentic sound, the authentic look, and the fact that we're genuinely easy to work with. We don't just learn the album tracks — we recreate the live concert versions, complete with the energy, the mannerisms and the stage presence. Venues like The Church Dublin, The Cavern Club Liverpool and Sporting Club Monaco book us because we deliver something real. You can read what our clients say on our Reviews page.

DO YOU PROVIDE A CONTRACT AND RIDER? Yes. We work professionally and can on request provide a T&Cs and rider for all bookings. Everything is handled clearly and straightforwardly — no surprises.

WHAT'S THE TYPICAL BOOKING LEAD TIME? Popular dates fill up quickly, so the sooner you get in touch the better. We are already booking out two years ahead. That said, we do occasionally have availability at shorter notice, so it's always worth asking even if your event is coming up soon.

HOW QUICKLY WILL YOU RESPOND TO A BOOKING ENQUIRY? We aim to respond to all enquiries within 48 hours. You can reach us via the Contact page or email us directly at bookings@theu2tributeuk.com.
