The ones without Ali to tour UK.
Birmingham’s reggae legends UB40 have announced a twenty-two-date UK tour for autumn 2016.
Featuring UB40’s founding members Jimmy Brown (drums), Robin Campbell (co-lead vocals and guitar), Earl Falconer (bass, vocals), Norman Hassan (percussion, vocals) and Brian Travers (sax and keys), plus Duncan Campbell (lead vocals), Martin Meredith (sax and keys), Lawrence Parry (trumpet) and Tony Mullings (keys), fans can expect to hear UB40’s greatest hits, including Food For Thought, One In Ten, Kingston Town, Cherry Oh Baby, (I Can’t Help) Falling in Love With You and, of course, Red, Red Wine.
Brian Travers said, “We played to over 200,000 fans during our last UK tour and had the time of our lives doing it – the atmosphere was very special. We really do have the best fans in the world, so we can’t wait to do it all over again.”
The tour will begin on Friday, 30th September at Leeds O2 Academy and end at Cliff’s Pavilion in Southend on Monday, 31st October.
“We’re looking forward to bringing the true sound of UB40 to our incredible fans this autumn,” said Robin Campbell. “After all, in Brian, Jimmy and me you have all of UB40’s principal songwriters. And we’re a reggae band; no other band in the world can replicate the sound of UB40’s original rhythm section of Earl and Jimmy. They are the backbone of UB40’s sound.”
