The Push is a passionate tribute to one of the greatest rock bands in history. Bringing together four seasoned musicians, The Push delivers an electrifying live experience that captures the soaring anthems, the epic guitar textures, and the raw emotional power that define U2's legendary catalog.
From the jangly post-punk energy of Boy and War to the stadium-filling grandeur of The Joshua Tree and beyond, The Push honors the full arc of U2's music — performed live with precision, heart, and a love for the songs that changed rock forever.
Whether headlining summer concert series or rocking private events, The Push brings the fire of a U2 show to every stage they play. Rock with us when The Push makes their MOH debut!
We invite you to join Hilltop Neighborhood House for our 2026 Vine to Village Fundraiser, an afternoon dedicated to supporting local families in times of need.
