Meet the band
Bono - Frank Wensink
Meet our frontman: Frank
Few singers capture the essence of Bono quite like Frank. With hundreds of U2 tribute shows to his name—ranging from intimate theatres to high-energy festivals across Europe—he’s a true veteran of the scene.
After a successful run with the former U2NL, Frank faced a tough decision in 2013. His passion for live music led him to focus on running his own concert venue in the eastern Netherlands. But some things never fade. His love for U2’s music kept burning, along with a promise he made to himself: “If the right U2 tribute comes along, I’ll be back on stage in a heartbeat.”
That moment has arrived.
Frank is back—full of energy, driven, and ready to take audiences on that unmistakable U2 journey once again. The voice, the passion, the charisma… it’s all there.
The Edge - Lennert Moens
Lennert is U2 in Echo’s very own The Edge — and then some. Guitarist, keyboardist, backing vocalist, producer, and the brains behind the full live setup, including all the backing tracks. Demanding? Definitely. But the results speak for themselves.
His musical journey began at age eight in music school. What he really wanted was to play synthesizer — he was already fascinated by the blend of instruments and technology — but the only option was classical piano. So he went along with it... for a while. By age twelve, he had saved up for his first electric guitar and amp. That amp had one special effect: delay — his first real connection to the sound of U2.
Lennert grew up surrounded by music and quickly became obsessed with U2. Seeing The Edge’s towering rack of effects on stage sealed the deal. He began hunting down rare pedals, studying every nuance of The Edge’s sound, and could spend hours — even in the middle of the night — fine-tuning a single setting.
Since then, he’s seen U2 live over ten times and even flew to Las Vegas to see them perform at the Sphere. With an ear for detail and a passion for sound design, Lennert doesn't just replicate U2’s music — he brings it to life, note for note, echo for echo.
Adam Clayton - Stijn Van Der Jeugd
A band without a bass is like fries without salt — it might fill you up, but it lacks flavor. Luckily, Stijn Van der Jeugd’s deep, warm bass lines make sure U2 in Echo is perfectly seasoned.
Much like Adam Clayton, Stijn picked up his first bass guitar at the age of fourteen — despite having zero experience. Two friends invited him to join their punk band, and he figured, why not? After all, punk is just three chords and the right attitude.
With a proud guitar-playing father (who also happened to be a U2 fan), the stage was set for a musical journey..
That road led through a wide range of musical projects, from raw punk to melodic pop-rock, and eventually to pop-punk with his band Boxing Day. With them, he recorded three EPs, played countless shows, and even toured the UK.
When former colleague Lennert was putting together a U2 tribute band, Stijn didn’t hesitate. Memories of watching loud U2 concerts on TV with his dad — especially the legendary 2001 Slane Castle performance — came flooding back. From the very first rehearsal, where they launched into “All I Want Is You” and “Where the Streets Have No Name,” it was clear: this wasn’t just a new project — it felt like coming home.
Larry Mullen jr. - Wim Geeraerts
Meet Wim, the rhythmic heartbeat of U2 in Echo — our very own Larry Mullen Jr., behind the drums since the age of six.
Driven by a lifelong passion for music, Wim has built an impressive career playing in a wide range of bands, spanning genres from pop and rock to electro and blues. His dynamic style and solid groove have made him a trusted drummer for several major artists, including Jean Bosco Safari. On top of that, he's also a songwriter in his own right.
With U2 in Echo, Wim channels the energy and precision of Larry Mullen Jr., bringing U2’s iconic drum sound to life. And if your feet can’t stop moving during a show? You know who to blame — Wim makes sure the rhythm grabs you and doesn’t let go.
