UB40 To Tour SA For Their 25th Anniversary Celebration

Legendary Reggae musical trio UB40 will be returning to South Africa to celebrate their 25th Anniversary by touring 3 different cities in May 2018. They will be dazzling the stages with their amazing music firstly in Cape Town on 15 May at the Grand Arena, Grand West, Durban on 17 May at the Durban ICC and Pretoria on 19 May at the Sun Arena, Time Square.

The group consists of 3 members Ali Campbell, Astro and Mickey Virtue who have made music good enough to label them as the Britain’s most successful reggae band of all time. The trio will be performing their classic all-time such as “Red Red Wine”, “Kingston” and “Can’t help falling in Love”. This,however does not mean that it’s the end of them they have set to release a new studio album later this year following more than 10 albums they’ve released in their lifetime in music.

Their world tours have included visits to North and South America, Nigeria, Dubai, Europe and Papua New Guinea. They are currently in the middle of a sellout North America and Canada tour and next year will see them return to the States, play Australia and visit the vineyards of New Zealand. Earlier this year, they performed songs from the first two Labour Of Love albums on a sellout arena tour that included shows at London’s O2 Arena, the Manchester Apollo and the Barclaycard Arena in their native Birmingham.

“We’ve had an outstanding four years on the road,” says Campbell. “In America, we’re playing huge venues that we last visited twenty years ago, and I can’t wait to play arenas in South Africa again. For me, it’s all about promoting reggae. At the end of the day, fans don’t care about what goes on behind the scenes. They only care about the music, and that’s what we’re giving them. We’re having a great time and we’re doing it in style.”
