The North America shows start with an April 15 appearance in Apopka, Florida, following a date four days earlier at the Reggae Fest taking place in Grenada National Stadium.
“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.”
UB40 Featuring Ali Campbell includes a group of musicians who have played with Campbell since 2008.

What Is UB40’s Biggest Hit?
The Birmingham-formed UB40’s debut album, Signing Off, was released in 1980. The band’s first five albums reached the Top 5 in their homeland. Labour of Love, from 1983, and 1993’s Promises and Lies, both made it to No. 1.
In the U.S., the band’s breakthrough hit was a cover of Neil Diamond‘s “Red Red Wine.” It was first released in the States in 1984; four years later, a longer version was rereleased and made it to No. 1.
