With Special Guest EKOLU
Iconic reggae band UB40 featuring original founding member Ali Campbell, returns to the MACC. The group defined reggae music for a generation, produced multiple Top 10 gold and platinum-selling albums, four #1 hits worldwide, and multiple Grammy nominations. The band has sold more than 70 million units worldwide. Special guests will be announced soon.
The band, formed in 1979 in Birmingham, England, pooled a diverse set of influences to put a fresh, indigenous slant on Jamaican reggae. After encouragement from Chrissie Hynde, who offered them support slots with her chart-topping band, the Pretenders, they recorded their independently released debut album,
Signing Off, which became an unexpected #2 album and gave them the conviction to chart their own course. The group’s top ten hits include
Red Red Wine, (I Can’t Help) Falling in Love With You, and
I Got You Babe.
