UB40 will celebrate their 45th anniversary at two UK shows this summer.
The British reggae legends will take over the O2 Apollo in Manchester and London's Royal Albert Hall, on June 1 and 2, respectively. Tickets go on general sale at 10am on March 17. UB40 founder member, Robin Campbell commented:
"So much has happened over the last 45 years. We pinch ourselves every day that we are still able to get out on the road to perform for our fans. Though the industry is still feeling the aftershocks of Covid we feel incredibly fortunate that we can continue our live shows and tour globally as we do.
"People can expect a phenomenal show and party as always! Matt Doyle, our lead singer since 2021 has fitted in seamlessly, bringing a new fire to our music, and we think our performance is the best it’s ever been! So if you want to hear the songs sound better than you remember them, come along to our show, we can’t wait to be up there and hear everyone singing along with us. It’s going to be electric."
Each night, the band will perform their hit singles, including Kingston Town, Red Red Wine, and (I Can’t Help) Falling In Love With You, along with new material from their forthcoming album, 'UB45', which is expected later in 2023, though an exact release date is still to be confirmed.
The shows will precede their huge hometown gig within the grounds of Moseley Park, Birmingham on August 27, which is billed as The Homecoming. They also play Margate's Dreamland in September.
