A TRIBUTE TO A BAND THAT CHANGED ROCK HISTORY
U2 is not just a band — it is a cultural force. For five decades, Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton, and Larry Mullen Jr. have shaped the sound of modern rock while addressing social justice, politics, love, faith, and human connection through their music. Their songs have become anthems for generations, echoing through stadiums, protests, celebrations, and personal moments around the world.
The Please U2 Madrid concert is designed to honor this extraordinary legacy in a way that is both respectful and electrifying. Audiences can expect a carefully curated setlist that spans U2’s early post-punk roots to their stadium-filling masterpieces. Classics such as “I Will Follow,” “New Year’s Day,” “Pride (In the Name of Love),” “Sunday Bloody Sunday,” and “Bad” will transport fans back to the band’s formative years, while monumental hits like “Where the Streets Have No Name,” “With or Without You,” “One,” and “Beautiful Day” will reaffirm why U2 remains one of the most influential bands of all time.
This is not a concert that simply imitates — it recreates the emotion, energy, and atmosphere that made U2 legendary.

PLEASE U2: PIONEERS OF THE U2 TRIBUTE MOVEMENT
Founded in 1999, Please U2 stands among the most respected and authentic tribute bands in Europe. Alongside groups such as Abbey Road and Smoking Stones, they are recognized as pioneers of the tribute movement in Spain, setting a standard that few bands have been able to match.
What truly distinguishes Please U2 is their official recognition by U2’s own record company. The band was personally selected to promote the albums “The Best of 1990–2000” in 2002 and “How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb” in 2004. During periods when U2 themselves were not touring Spain, Please U2 carried the torch, performing in top venues across the country and keeping the spirit of U2 alive for thousands of fans.
This level of endorsement is rare in the world of tribute bands and speaks volumes about Please U2’s authenticity, musicianship, and deep respect for the original band.

A SHOW THAT GOES BEYOND TRIBUTE
Calling Please U2 a “cover band” barely scratches the surface. Over the past 25 years, they have built a reputation for delivering imposing stage productions, meticulous attention to musical detail, and emotionally charged performances that captivate even the most skeptical audience members.
Their dedication has earned them multiple nominations at the ARC Awards in the category of Best Tribute Band and Cover Group, reinforcing their status as one of the finest tribute acts in Europe.
From the unmistakable delay-drenched guitar tones inspired by The Edge to the commanding vocal presence that channels Bono’s passion and charisma, every aspect of a Please U2 performance is crafted with precision and heart. Their concerts are not about imitation for imitation’s sake — they are about recreating the shared emotional experience that defines U2’s music.

PRAISED, CONFUSED, AND CELEBRATED BY THE MEDIA
Please U2’s authenticity has been so convincing that it has occasionally led to extraordinary moments in the media. In 2010, El Correo de Vizcaya famously mistook the band for U2 themselves, using a photograph of Please U2 to illustrate an article about the U2 360º Tour during the band’s visit to San Sebastián. The mix-up became a testament to just how strikingly real their portrayal of U2 can be.
In 2015, El Periódico de Catalunya offered perhaps one of the most memorable descriptions of the band, headlining an article about the after-parties of U2’s Innocence + Experience Tour with the phrase:
“La marca blanca d’U2 és pota negra” — loosely translated, “U2’s white-label version is top quality.”
Such praise underscores the respect Please U2 commands not only from fans, but also from journalists and music critics.

They have also headlined legendary venues such as Apolo, Razzmatazz, Luz de Gas, and, notably, La Sala del Movistar Arena — the very stage they will return to on February 14, 2026. This return is symbolic, reinforcing their deep connection to Madrid’s live music scene and their continued relevance after more than two decades on the road.
