WILDWOOD CREST — The World’s Second-Best U2 show is due to perform in Wildwood Crest for the sixth straight summer.
Back by popular demand, 2U, a tribute band that performs all the hits of U2, one of the most popular rock bands in the world, is scheduled to perform July 12 at 7:30 p.m. at Centennial Park as part of the Wildwood Crest Free Summer Music Series.
