UB40 ANNOUNCE MAJOR UK TOUR FOR 2017

Birmingham’s world-famous reggae stars UB40 have announced a major 14-date UK tour for December 2017.

Featuring UB40’s five founding members Robin Campbell, Brian Travers, Jimmy Brown, Earl Falconer and Norman Hassan, and long-time members Duncan Campbell, Martin Meredith, Lawrence Parry and Tony Mullings, the first of the ‘Cities and Towns Tour’ dates will be on Monday, 4th December at Folkestone’s Leas Cliff Hall, and will end on Friday, 22nd December at The O₂ Guildhall Southampton.

The dates also include a UB40 hometown show at Birmingham’s Genting Arena on Friday, 15th December 2017.

Robin Campbell said, “UB40 are very excited to be returning to some of the biggest venues in the UK during our ‘Cities and Towns’ tour in December 2017. We are also particularly pleased to be playing such a fantastic venue for our hometown gig in Birmingham.”

Fans can expect to hear UB40’s greatest hits, including ‘Food For Thought’, ‘One In Ten’, ‘Kingston Town’, ‘(I Can't Help) Falling in Love With You’ and ‘Red, Red Wine’, amongst many, many others.

Naming themselves after the unemployment benefit form, UB40 formed in 1978, before releasing their debut album ‘Signing Off’ in August 1980 – considered by many to be one of the greatest reggae albums ever released by a British band. It was the start of a career that has since seen the band have over forty UK Top 40 hit singles and achieve sales of over 100 million records, making UB40 one of the most successful British groups of all-time.

UB40 are currently in the studio working on a new album due for release in 2017 via Pledge Music (www.pledgemusic.com/projects/ub40)
