UB 40

10/01/2017

Cult reggae-pop outfit UB40 return to Australia for a national tour with beloved original front-man Ali Campbell and founding members Astro and Mickey Virtue. Hear the band’s iconic global hits Red Red Wine, (I Can’t Help) Falling in Love With You, Here I Am and more, and see why Campbell’s legendary voice propelled the band to worldwide stardom. “With the return of Ali Campbell to the vocal duties, expectations were high for this return of UB40 to Australia’s shores. He showed that not only has he not lost any of his singing ability, he can hold a crowd in the palm of his hand. The full band were all class for classic cut Can’t Help Falling in Love and Al Green cover Here I Am (Come and Take Me). An excellent example of an old band returning and sounding just like they used to. They finished with Red, Red Wine, which would stay in our heads for the rest of the night.” – THE MUSIC, Bluesfest 2016
