The widely-popular reggae band is set to mesmerise audience with classic hits and gems from their many critically-acclaimed albums, including Red, Red Wine, Kingston Town, and Can't Help Falling In Love.

  • UB40 live in Johannesburg: GalleryAli Campbell's UB40 performed live in Johannesburg at the beautiful Emmarentia Dam on Saturday, April 5, 2014 to a chilled crowd of old and young people getting high on life. Performing hits like 'Kingston Town', 'There's A Rat in My Kitchen' and 'Red Red Wine', the band had everyone on their feet. 

Three of the founding members, Ali Campbell, Astro and Mickey Virtue - who reformed three years ago - have remained at the top of their game, with highlights including their ongoing world tour, a sellout UK arena tour headlining London's o2 arena, a huge sell out USA tour and critical acclaim for their new material in 2014’s Silhouette album.

  • UB40 heading back to South AfricaWith more than 50 hit singles and record sales in excess of 70 million worldwide, UB40 remain one of the most successful bands of all time. 

Having embarked on their current world tour the band's step up to even larger venues is a testament to the longevity of their songs, as well as UB40’s status as Britain’s most successful Reggae band of all time, a true music pioneer since 1979.
