About

UB40 on Tour

A UB40 concert doubles as a lesson in how reggae has informed pop music over the last few decades. Weaving together island-inspired covers of American hits like "Red Red Wine" and "(I Can't Help) Falling in Love With You" with their own songs such as "Food for Thought" and "Love Is All Is Alright," the band keeps people dancing and vibing throughout their whole set. 

Currently, there are two versions of UB40 touring. One features founding members Robin Campbell, Brian Travers, Jimmy Brown, Earl Falconer and Norman Hassan alongside vocalist Duncan Campbell, while the other features founding vocalist Ali Campbell and percussionist-vocalist Astro. (Please check with your venue to see which group will be appearing.) 

UB40 Background

For more than four decades, Birmingham's UB40 have been one of the world's premier fusers of pop and reggae, with their working class, multicultural heritage and keen ear combining to create big hits. Formed in late 1978, the band named themselves after a form Brits had to file in order to receive unemployment benefits. They released their first album, Signing Off, in 1980, and its blend of dub, ska and reggae with pop hooks plus socially aware lyrics made it a critical favorite that launched two Top 10 singles in the UK. In 1983, they had a commercial breakthrough with their fourth album, Labour of Love, an all-covers collection made up of songs released between 1969 and 1972. Songs by reggae and rocksteady stars like The Melodians and Lee "Scratch" Perry made up the bulk of the album, and its biggest hit was a take on Jamaican singer Tony Tribe's cover of Neil Diamond's "Red Red Wine," which lets Campbell and Astro trade verses over a bubbly beat. 

The global success of "Red Red Wine," which went to No. 1 in the UK in 1983 and topped the American charts five years later, helped UB40 become Britain's de facto reggae ambassadors. Blending self-penned reggae songs with Caribbean-influenced covers of pop hits like "I Got You Babe" (a collaboration with Pretenders leader Chrissie Hynde) and "(I Can't Help) Falling in Love With You," UB40 have forged a path as one of the world's leading reggae bands, their dual commitment to social issues and groovy beats only growing stronger as time goes on.

    The Space - July 6 2023

    by The Harp on 8/16/23

    First time seeing them since departure of Ali Campbell and passing of Astro and Brian Travers. Opening was very cool with stage going from dark to eventual illumination of their sign all to the sound of a version of “Dance with the Devil” to their opening Al Green classic “ Here I Am”. From there was a great mixture 45 years of their sound that sold 70 million records and that which you just can’t just sit down to. Matt Doyle adds his own vibe on lead vocals while still maintaining the UB40 vibe! Will not miss them when the tour again. No one should

    Meh ...

    by Concert Collector on 7/26/23

    I have loved UB40 since the early 80's and have probably seen them a dozen times or more! And multiple times here in Las Vegas, I love that they come every summer. IMO, everything started way too late!! Big Mountain was a downer, they played all downbeat songs when they finally came on. It was over 100 degrees and even though it was at the Soak pool it was too hot to wait for 4 hours for UB40 to come on, we left before UB40 even came to the stage. So disappointed in this one. Great venue, great band but the very late start on a very hot night was no fun at all!

    Not impressed.

    by mwisbey on 7/25/23

    We arrived at the venue at around 8:30pm and Big Mountain and the Wailers came on. They were both really good. Only complaint is the wailers probably 1-2 too many songs. Then it took around 40 minutes for UB40 to come out at a round 11:30pm and when they did they played songs that only “hard core” fans knew. Like I’m sorry you’re an old band and people want to hear your hits. It got to the point that they played about 5 songs in a row that no one knew. Especially disappointing after having everyone wait in 105 oF for 3 hours. We were exhausted so we left before they played anything good. Really disappointed with UB40 and won’t be going back.

    UB40

    by Sandy on 7/18/23

    The music and venue was Awesome!! The only issue I had was it was a very hot day and they took bottle waters from people even though the bottle was still sealed. I only found one food truck selling water in a can and have course it was over price. Regardless, many will be drinking alcohol but still need some water due to it being so hot. Not everyone drink alcohol.
