UB40 has been at this for nearly five decades, and the music still hits like it always did. The four-time Grammy-nominated reggae legends announce their “Unstoppable” Tour, a massive fall run through the U.S. and Canada stretching from September 18 through November 15, covering 40 markets across major amphitheaters and performing arts centers. This marks the fifth consecutive year the group has returned to North America.
The official UB40 lineup features founding members James Brown on drums, Robin Campbell on guitar and vocals, Earl Falconer on bass and vocals, and Norman Hassan on percussion and vocals, alongside lead guitarist and vocalist Matt Doyle. Expect “Red Red Wine,” “Food For Thought,” “(I Can’t Help) Falling In Love With You,” and a catalog that has produced more than 50 UK charting singles and 17 UK Top 10 albums. Over 100 million albums sold worldwide tells you everything about the reach of this band.
Formed in Birmingham, England in 1978, UB40 built their sound from working-class roots and turned it into a global phenomenon. Matt Doyle has fronted the group since 2021, leading four major tours and appearing on their 2024 album ‘UB45’, a 45th anniversary release that hit No. 5 on the UK official album chart, blending new songs with reimagined classics. The band is also planning a new album for this summer, with details to come.
The “Unstoppable” Tour lives up to its name. Canadian dates open the run in Ottawa, Montreal, and Moncton before crossing into the northeastern U.S. and fanning out coast to coast, hitting Milwaukee, Chicago, Vancouver, Los Angeles, Dallas, Houston, Atlanta, and closing in Hollywood, FL on November 15. VIP options are available.
Tickets are on sale now.
