Vertigo are an established U2 tribute band from Dublin city since September 2005 and have played to U2 fans from Ireland to Japan. In April 2006 they played for Bono’s wife, Ali, at the 20th anniversary of the Children’s Chernobyl Project. They have appeared on Irish national TV on the Podge & Rodge show and toured Germany where they have a small fan base.
On St Patricks day 2008 in Tokyo, Vertigo took part in the St Patricks day parade and later played at the Tokyo Irish Music Festival.
Vertigo have received great acclaim in the Irish, German and Japanese press. The band are expected to play Germany and Japan again in 2009 with their sights also set on Australia and the U.S.
Just like their musical heroes, Vertigo hail from Dublin which gives the guys an instant advantage over other U2 tribute bands, but it doesn't end there. All four members are also impeccable and experienced musicians and the utmost attention has been paid to detail. It's not enough these days to play music to the note, which this band does second to none. Vertigo - Live, recreates a live U2 show.
Vertigo deliver the true sentiment and energy of U2's material through fresh and accurate interpretations of U2's countless hits and choice album cuts.
Touring both nationally and internationally, Vertigo have surprised and delighted U2 fans with its authenticity. In this two hour extravaganza, Vertigo recreate the live U2 concert setting with a truly memorable performance from start to finish, proving just why so many rate Vertigo as THE premier band celebrating the music and spirit of the great U2.
