LA VATION

Imagine a Rock and Roll Tribute show, so realistic, it will overwhelm your senses of sight and sound. L.A.vation is that band, and U2 its inspiration!

Based in Los Angeles, California, the entertainment capital of the world, L.A.vation derives its name from the hit song "Elevation", the third single released from U2's 2000 album, All That You Can't Leave Behind.

L.A.vation has faithfully crafted an amazingly accurate show, incorporating memorable stage elements from past U2 concerts with "spot-on" musical execution, all the while emphasizing the pride and passion of the four lads from Dublin.

L.A.vation has performed in Europe (England, The Netherlands, Belgium, France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Iceland, Kosovo), the Middle East & Asia (Dubai-UAE, Afghanistan, Kuwait, Lebanon), Africa (Egypt), the Caribbean (Dominican Republic, Haiti, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, Antigua, St. Maarten, St. Kitts, St. Croix, Grenada, St. Lucia, Bahamas), North- & Central America (USA, Canada, Bermuda, Mexico, Honduras, Costa Rica, El Salvador), and South America (Colombia), with many more international shows coming up.
