UB40 featuring Ali Campbell will play live concert dates in Ireland in November 2026.
UB40 featuring Ali Campbell bring their Big Love Tour to TF Royal, Castlebar on Friday 27 November and 3Arena, Dublin on Saturday 28 November, 2026.
Fuelled by the voice that powered UB40 to 70 million record sales and over fifty UK chart hits, Ali Campbell is again bringing some much-needed reggae cheer into the world as he takes the latest incarnation of his extraordinary band to the world’s biggest stages. Building on a legacy that dates back 45 years to his formative years in inner-city Birmingham, singer and guitarist Ali’s touring ensemble remains the most authentic realisation of UB40’s original aim of advancing reggae in all its guises.
For Ali, who began a new era when he left the band’s original line-up in 2008, there’s no shortage of material to sing live. A typical show will include classic reggae covers such as Cherry Oh Baby, Please Don’t Make Me Cry, Kingston Town and Red Red Wine – all from the hugely successful Labour Of Love series – plus more recent originals such as Unprecedented, from the 2021 album of the same name.
