» Profile

If you were to ask people who've just witnessed a Joshua U2 performance and how they would describe what they saw, they would most often use the word "amazing". Joshua is believed by many to be the closest thing to an actual U2 show.

Often, tribute bands are the next best thing to seeing your favourite band because the singers and musicians in tribute bands are such dedicated fans themselves that they won't settle for anything less than complete authenticity. Joshua, The U2 Tribute Band, is exactly that kind of band. In addition to performing the complete repertoire of U2 music, from 'Boy' to 'How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb', we do everything in our power (from sounds to costumes) to recreate the live U2 show experience for our audiences.

Based in the West of Scotland, they perform throughout the UK including regular tours of Ireland & a few trips to across Europe.

Joshua started out in 2002 following the success of U2's Elevation Tour, when founding members Bob McGonigal (The Edge) and Kyle Wilson (Adam Clayton) decided to form a U2 tribute band with the goal of presenting an authentic, high-energy show. They had auditioned 12 guys, looking for Bono when they where introduced to Phil.

All four members are talented musicians individually, but are united in a mission to be the best U2 tribute band in the world. But don't take their word for it... book them today and see for yourself!
