UB40 is ALWAYS a treat for the senses live. Their sound is larger than life. How could it be anything less? With Veteran member Robin Campbell on rhythm and lead guitar who also sings with the deeper, melodic voice. Duncan Campbell giving the lead vocals all he's got, throw in some subtle smiles and a whole lot of sophisticated charm as well. Earl Falconer on bass, making a center stage appearance for a few songs of his own, including, Bulldozer, a fantastic new one from the current album "For The Many". Martin Meredith on saxophone playing straight to your soul, Lawrence Perry dazzling on trumpet, and humbly standing in for The one and only Brian Travers was Ian who really carried the music quite well and is an absolute gentleman. Norman Hassan gives you voice, percussion, character and some very fancy dance moves! Tony Mullings on keyboards lays down a very complicated array of sounds that infiltrate the music and make it what it is, he adds so much to the richness of their brand of Reggae. Jimmy Brown sets the tempo on the drums and gives this fine group of genuine, talented, musicians a wild ride to lay down all of their musical contributions to and float you away on rythm, melody, beat, love songs, politics, thought provoking, smile producing MUSIC! This is a band that if you are fortunate enough to have the opportunity to see live, and you miss it, you missed more than you will ever realize. They are so good to their true and loyal fans, both on stage and off. There's obvious reason why this is 40th anniversary tour, 40 years of material, all authentic (even the covers!) all genuine, all solid, and inspirational. UB40 is the finest entertainment I've ever had the privilege to experience. Go. See. Them.

Angry UB40 fans storm out of Leeds gig early and slam concert as 'tribute act'

Fans complained about the lack of atmosphere at the concert

• 15:06, 21 DEC 2022
• Updated 09:05, 23 DEC 2022

Fans have been complaining about a UB40 gig held at Leeds arena.

In a post on Facebook, Laura Coyle asked people what their opinions of the concert were before she shared her own. She wrote: "Everyone was leaving within 40 mins. We had been sat waiting since half 6, they didn’t come on till just after 9, then they announced a new vocalist singer !

"That’s like going to see Beyoncé and saying she’s not here so we’ve got a new vocalist for you yet charging the same prices! So so many people walked out - it was shocking."

Others agreed and shared the view that the concert wasn't the same without former frontman Ali Campbell, who left in 2008 and formed another group called UB40. Laura Coyle said the band ""never once" mentioned he wouldn't be there.

Another commenter, Sarah Wright, wrote: "Tbh it wasn't great more a tribute act? Didn't play any of the best songs, no atmosphere x."

Lisa Brockman said: "Waited 2yrs & tbh it was more like a tribute act? Didn't play any of there best hits no atmosphere & definitely not the same without Ali Campbell."

There are now two groups called UB40 who tour. One contains former frontman Ali Campbell along with keyboardist Mickey Virtue. Another contains the rest of the members, drummer Jimmy Brown, guitarist Robin Campbell, bassist Earl Falconer, percussionist Norman Hassan and new lead singer Matt Doyle.

However, not everyone agreed with the criticism. Sharon Booth said: "I knew Ali wasn’t going to be with them, Matt was great and I had a thoroughly good time! Good value for money, DJ and two bands with a good atmosphere. A few did walk out who were sitting near us, but there wasn’t any kind of mass exodus, most like us enjoyed it for what it was!"

Christine Waterworth agreed and also said: "We had a ball. It was amazing. Loved the tribute to Terry Hall. Those who expect UB40 of old forget bands change. I thought the new singer was ace. Norman hassan doing his dance was amazing. Good to here the new stuff and the classics."

Linzi Joyce also added: "I enjoyed it, just didn't play enough of the ub40 classics."

Nicola Kelly also said: "I went and loved every minute of it. We all did."

2024 US Tour Announced!

6th february 2024.

America – we’re on the way! We’re really pleased to announce the first batch of dates for our 2024 US tour, that once again sees us travel coast-to-coast for the Summer. Our season kicks off on July 2 in New York – touring to major amphitheaters and some really amazing venues. This tour is coincides with the release of our latest album, UB45.

We’re also going to be joined by our good friends, Maxi Priest, Inner Circle and Third World for select dates, along with The English Beat and US band, Fastest Land Animal – check the listings for more info!

“ We’re excited to get back to the States again for our third year in a row, as we love coming to America. We can’t wait to play songs from our new album that we’re so very proud of, showcasing Matt Doyle’s vocals on the tracks. He’s brought a new lease of life to our music, as has the addition of our ‘permanent guest’ MC Gilly G and my son on backing vocals, Matt Campbell, carrying on the legacy. When you play songs over so many years, the arrangements and vocals evolve and change. These updated versions of our hits are still close to the originals, but now reflect how we perform them today and they sound better than ever. ” – Robin Campbell
