About
U2 Tribute - Believe is a tribute band for hire in Brisbane, QLD.
Believe is an Australian U2 tribute show built for volume and space, which is the only sensible way to do U2. Paul Moleta fronts it, with John Hamilton on drums and Ian Cunningham on bass. The set is the real spread rather than just the singles: Sunday Bloody Sunday, I Will Follow, Bad, Pride, Where The Streets Have No Name, Bullet The Blue Sky, Zoo Station, Mysterious Ways, With Or Without You and 40, alongside Beautiful Day and Vertigo. Two and a half hours, and they can stretch to four with rock and pop from Bon Jovi, INXS, The Killers and Kings Of Leon. Outdoors they'll want the stage covered, and a big screen or projector helps. Based in Brisbane. All band and crew members carry public liability cover.
Watch
The show
Loud, and deliberately so. Paul Moleta fronts this U2 tribute on vocals, with John Hamilton on drums, Ian Cunningham on bass and Matthew Nightingale on guitar. The songs are the ones you'd hope for, With Or Without You and Beautiful Day among them, played for a stadium feel rather than a pub one. You don't have to know the back catalogue to enjoy it. Sing along to the ones you know and let the rest wash over you.
On the day
If the show is outdoors, the stage needs to be covered. That's non-negotiable for a band carrying this much electrical gear. A big screen or projector also helps, since a lot of the visual side of a U2 show depends on it. Indoors, the requirements are simpler.
Performance options
The core show is two and a half hours or more of U2 material, which is enough to get well past the singles. If you need the night covered for longer, they'll extend to around four hours by adding rock and pop from Bon Jovi, INXS, The Killers and Kings Of Leon, plus some country rock. Tell them what your venue tends to respond to and the extra time gets shaped accordingly.
