Unforgettable Fire: U2 Tribute Show

In 2015, The Edge and Adam Clayton walked on stage and joined them.

Unforgettable Fire was born on New Year's Day in 1995 as one of the very first U2 tribute bands in America, and after thirty years at the East Coast's most prestigious venues they have a fair claim to being the preeminent U2 show in North America. The aim is complete authenticity, sonically and visually, from the material to the wardrobe to the lighting, and the set ranges from the pre-Boy era through Songs of Experience.

The story that follows them everywhere happened at The Cutting Room in New York, when U2's The Edge and Adam Clayton crashed their show and performed Out Of Control and Where The Streets Have No Name with them. Rolling Stone and press around the world picked it up.

In 2021 the band turned up as a question on Jeopardy!, in a category called Tribute Bands.

Good to know. Tickets run $41 to $45, among the best value of the season.

Where to go. SHU Community Theatre sits on the Post Road in downtown Fairfield, within a short walk of the town center restaurants and an easy run in from anywhere in lower Fairfield County.
