Four-time Grammy® nominated UB40's U.S. and Canadian “THE UNSTOPPABLE TOUR” -- which kicked off on September 18 for a run through November 15 -- will see the group perform in 40 markets at major amphitheaters and performing arts centers across America including New York City's
The Town Hall tonight (9/25) and Los Angeles, and Canada.
The legendary reggae-pop band -- one of the most successful and influential British groups of all time with more than 100 million albums sold worldwide, with trademark global #1 hits “Red Red Wine” and “(I Can’t Help) Falling in Love With You”; and U.S. Top 10s “Here I Am (Come and Take Me)” and “The Way You Do The Things You Do,” returns this fall to North America for a fifth consecutive year.
The official UB40 band featuring original and founding members James Brown (drums), Robin Campbell (guitar/vocals), Earl Falconer (bass/vocals) and Norman Hassan (percussion/vocals); Martin Meredith (keyboards/WX7/saxophone), Jahred Gordon (keyboards), Laurence Parry (trumpet/flugel/trombone), Ian Thompson (saxophone), Gilly G (MC vocals), Matt Campbell (backing vocals) – and lead vocalist and guitarist Matt Doyle -- will be bringing their worldwide hit singles to the stage with “Red Red Wine,” “Food For Thought,” “(I Can’t Help) Falling In Love With You,” and much more.
As the world’s biggest-selling reggae group with more than 50 UK charting singles and 17 UK Top 10 albums, the group, formed in Birmingham, England, has been recording and touring since 1978. Originating as group of young friends with working-class origins, UB40 has gone on to becoming four-time Grammy® nominees (including for “Best Reggae Album”) while spending a combined 11 plus years on the charts.
In 2008, former lead singer Ali Campbell left the group to pursue a solo career, and was replaced by his brother, Duncan Campbell, who fronted the group until he retired due to illness in 2021. Matt Doyle has since taken over as lead singer/guitarist, leading the last four major UB40 tours, and performing on their latest 2024 album, “UB45,” which features new songs and re-imagined classics, commemorating their historic 45th anniversary – reaching #5 on the UK official album chart.
On this tour, the group will perform live for the first time to U.S. audiences, their cover of Shania Twain’s “You’re Still The One,” which will be available on their new album that will be released in 2027.
