WILDWOOD CREST — The World’s Second-Best U2 show is due to perform in Wildwood Crest for the sixth straight summer.
Back by popular demand, 2U, a tribute band that performs all the hits of U2, one of the most popular rock bands in the world, is scheduled to perform July 12 at 7:30 p.m. at Centennial Park as part of the Wildwood Crest Free Summer Music Series.
A long-running U2 tribute band based out of New York, 2U has played to rave reviews at festivals, nightclubs, college campuses, outdoor music series and corporate events up and down the East Coast for well over a decade. 2U strives to not only play the music of U2 but also to recreate a live performance by the widely successful rock band, one of the most recognizable and popular musical acts in the world. 2U performs a wide variety of U2’s hits, from Boy, the band’s first album released in early 1980s, all the way through No Line on the Horizon, U2’s most recent full release in 2009.
2U has become one of the most popular acts in the six-year history of the Wildwood Crest Summer Music Series, drawing some of the largest crowds of the season to Centennial Park.
Saturday’s event is a free all-ages show. Attendees should bring a blanket or a chair.
