ATTENTION BABY! - U2 & BONO TRIBUTE LIVE AT THE WESERSCHOLLE IN HÖXTER
It's been six years since U2's last tour, a new album or a new tour still feels a long way off - what to do if you love the music of the four Irishmen?
No problem: Achtung Baby, probably the most renowned U2 tribute band in our country, has been on stage for more than 20 years, celebrating the songs of the Irish superband.
Based on the enormous multimedia show that earned U2 the top spot as the world's most successful band in the concert scene, Achtung Baby are also sometimes supported by a specially created video show. They performed this, for example, at gigs for Germany's largest Internet fan portal u2Tour.de in 2005 as well as at the Nokia New Years Eve 2006 and the official release party of
Universal Music for the new U2 album on 26.02.2009. However, this show is not only reserved for larger stages, but can also be experienced directly in live music clubs.
The greatest concern of the four musicians, all of whom grew up with the sound of U2, is and remains to convey the feeling, the sound and the soul of the music of the four Irishmen. From the New Wave and punk-influenced beginning in the late 70s, as heard in "I Will Follow" or "Out Of Control", through the period of upheaval and political commitment of the 80s, which culminated in a highlight of the biggest rock festival in history up to that point, the Live Aid Festival 1985 with songs like "Bad" and "Sunday Bloody Sunday", to today's gigantic 360-degree multimedia show, underlined with songs like "Beautiful Day", "Magnificient".
Of course, concert-goers will also be treated to many other great hits from "One" to "Where The Streets Have No Name" and "With Or Without You" in a soulful and up-close performance.
This way, the sworn U2 fan will feel "at home" at the concert and those who until now knew the hits mainly from radio and TV will discover many new facets of the music of Bono, The Edge, Adam Clinton and Larry Mullen and perhaps become a future U2 or Achtung Baby fan.
So: Achtung Baby!
