Summer Concerts Continue With U2 Tribute

For those among us who like U2—arguably one of the top five bands in history—Sunday is your day in Rancho Santa Margarita. The Summer Concert Series in Central Park continues with a tribute to the Irish rockers who had the cooler of the musicians named Bono.

Could a Sonny and Cher tribute be far behind? If so, it will have to wait until next year as the summer concert series comes to a close with the last of five  performances this season.

Hollywood U2 will be the featured band Sunday presented by the city of RSM, SAMLARC, and realtors Flo Bullock and John Russell. The band looks and sounds the part of U2.

Previous bands included:

• (stadium rock)
• (country rock)
• (Beatles tribute)
• (disco era)
  

Still remaining on the schedule:

• August 12: Hollywood U2 (U2 tribute band)

The event also provides an opportunity for residents to contribute to Operation Help-A-Hero's "Operation Rack Pack" barracks drive. Residents are asked to bring items that can be provided for the city's adopted 2/5 Marines at Camp Pendleton in welcome home care packages.
