UB40 Featuring Ali Campbell bring The Big Love Tour to Utilita Arena Birmingham on Saturday 5 December.

For more than four decades, Ali Campbell has brought his unmistakable take on reggae to the mainstream, reaching the farthest corners of the globe, breaking boundaries and crossing generations.

Now with UB40 Featuring Ali Campbell, he returns home for a massive homecoming performance at Utilita Arena Birmingham, with The Big Love Tour 2026 – a celebration of the band’s extraordinary legacy, their incredible catalogue of hits, and above all, the enduring power of reggae music.

A British music icon, Ali Campbell’s unmistakeable voice is only matched by his relentless mission to carry reggae to every corner of the globe, which in recent years has seen the band ignite stages everywhere from the far-flung islands of the South Pacific to sold-out performances across South Africa - while continuing to pack out theatres, festivals and arenas throughout Europe and beyond.

With over 100 million records sold worldwide, more than 50 UK chart hits, and an unparalleled run of success spanning the 1980s to today, UB40 Featuring Ali Campbell remain one of Britain’s most enduring and internationally celebrated acts.

Their catalogue is woven into the fabric of popular music: Red Red Wine, Kingston Town, (I Can’t Help) Falling In Love With You, Cherry Oh Baby, and Rat In Mi Kitchen - whose album of the same name celebrates its 40th anniversary this year.

From an Ivor Novello Award to GRAMMY® nominations, from topping charts on both sides of the Atlantic to becoming one of the UK’s biggest live music exports and achieving a star on the Camden Music Walk of Fame, UB40 featuring Ali Campbell continue to build upon the band’s incredible legacy - few can claim to have scored UK No.1s across multiple decades; fewer still can fill arenas around the world four decades on. 

Expect wall-to-wall classics, deep cuts, and the kind of communal Big Love that have seen UB40 Featuring Ali Campbell endure for so long. 

UB40 Featuring Ali Campbell bring The Big Love Tour to Utilita Arena Birmingham on Saturday 5 December. Tickets go on sale at 10am on Friday 6 March here.
