The British group, formed in 1978 by singer and guitarist Campbell, will play a series of shows in the spring, with most of them taking place in the U.S.
The Big Love Tour follows a 2024 and 2025 European tour that included several festival headlining slots.

“UB40 is my legacy,” Campbell said in a press release announcing the shows. “It’s an absolute joy to travel everywhere and sing these songs to lovely audiences.

“This is reggae; it brings people together and unifies them. It doesn’t matter if you’re 10 years old or 100 years old; it’s always a happy time. This is what I’ve done for the last 40-plus years of my adult life. I have no intention of ever stopping either.”
Campbell will be backed in the shows by the same band of players who have performed with him since 2008.
What Songs Is UB40 Known For?
UB40’s debut album, Signing Off, came out in 1980. The LP hit No. 2 on the U.K. chart; their next four albums all reached the Top 5, with 1983’s Labour of Love making it to No. 1.
Their breakthrough U.S. hit was a cover of Neil Diamond‘s “Red Red Wine,” originally released in 1984. In 1988, a longer version of the song hit No. 1.
