Legendary West Midlands reggae icons UB40 featuring Ali Campbell are the latest headliners to be announced for Live at Ludlow Castle 2027.

The news follows yet another sell-out summer for the series which saw 50,000 attendees visit the historic grounds of the beloved Shropshire landmark across two weekends; the biggest iteration of the event to date.

Ali Campbell is the unmistakable voice behind one of the world’s most successful reggae bands, UB40. As the band’s founding lead singer, Ali helped drive over 100 million record sales, numerous Grammy nominations, countless international chart-topping hits and decades of worldwide tours that took UB40’s signature sound to stadiums, arenas and festivals across the globe.

After leading the band through its greatest successes, Ali stepped away in 2008 when he could no longer support the direction and management decisions being made behind the scenes. Protecting his integrity and the legacy he helped to build, Ali chose his own path and came back stronger than ever.

Today, Ali continues to tour the world, pack out venues and release celebrated new music whilst proudly carrying the authentic UB40 sound that longtime fans and young audiences around the world still know and love.

Special guests include: David Rodigan, General Levy and The Marley Experience.
