Any U2 tribute can play "With or Without You." Wide Awake plays "An Cat Dubh."
That distinction matters. Built from the ground up by professional touring musicians who are every bit as obsessed with U2 as the fans who fill the venues, Wide Awake has set itself apart by going deeper into the catalog than almost anyone else dares.
Yes, Where the Streets Have No Name, Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For, and With or Without You are all here, played with the faithfulness and live energy those songs demand. But it is the material that makes longtime fans do a double take, songs like Into the Heart, Trip Through Your Wires, Running to Stand Still, and The Unforgettable Fire, that make a Wide Awake show feel genuinely special.
The proof is in the rooms. An Irishman from Dublin who had seen every U2 tour since the Joshua Tree show in 1987 said it plainly after a recent performance: Wide Awake's version of "Wild Horses" was better than any time he had seen U2 play it.
Wide Awake is one of the fastest-growing U2 tributes in the country, performing 40 years of the most iconic rock catalog ever made. The big anthems. The deep cuts. The songs U2 rarely plays anymore.
This is a live U2 tribute show built for fans who have seen the real thing and for those who simply love great rock music performed with precision and passion.
Wide Awake and ready for you.
