Fronted by the unmistakable voice of Ali Campbell--known as the legendary original lead singer of UB40--UB40 Featuring Ali Campbell features the same band of world class players who have performed with him since 2008. Tapping into the pulse of the Caribbean with respect and invoking the magic of its music with reverence, Ali, who eternally remains the voice, the face, and the sound of UB40, has struck a chord with one generation of fans after another as the founding frontman and original lead "vocALIst" of UB40 and now as the namesake of UB40 Featuring Ali Campbell.
At the very mention of Red Red Wine, Kingston Town, (I Can't Help) Falling In Love With You, or dozens of other hits, audiences can't help but think of Ali's inimitable vocals punctuated by his irreplaceable intonation, butter-smooth delivery, and bold British soul. His voice has catalyzed sales of 100 million albums, 40 Top 20 hits (as well as four #1's), billions of streams, and innumerable accolades. Beyond earning a Grammy® Award nomination, he has also garnered the prestigious Ivor Novello Award for "International Achievement" and the Mauritius Government Award.
Accompanied by an elite cohort of world-class players, he properly continues the legacy of UB40 with the classic sound listeners know and love on the road in 2026 and beyond.

It's hard to believe that UB40 have been around since the early 1980s. While most famous for their cover songs, UB40 have written a good portion of original material that's excellent. But songs like "Red Red Wine" and a version of the Doors' "Light My Fire" will attract the majority of listeners to their unique sound. Following in the footsteps of greats like Bob Marley and Burning Spear, this band from Birmingham, England (led by the two sons of folkie Ian Campbell, have helped keep the flame of roots reggae alive with their easy sound. UB40 have been gnawing away at musical barriers for years.
