Ub40

UB40 hit Wembley Arena, London, on 5 June 2026 with their unmistakable mix of reggae, pop and dub. Formed in late‑70s Birmingham, the band first carved out a place with socially rooted tracks and dub textures, then widened the scope with the Labour of Love series, reworking Jamaican classics alongside their own songs. On stage, that history becomes an easy-rolling set built on brass up front, deep bass, tight percussion and close harmonies.

Expect a journey from early cuts like Signing Off and Present Arms through Promises and Lies and beyond, with favourites such as Red Red Wine, Kingston Town and (I Can’t Help) Falling in Love With You, plus newer material carried by the same laid-back pulse. Line-ups have shifted over the years, but UB40’s live approach stays focused on warm arrangements, steady riddims and a catalogue that crosses generations. This Wembley show brings that sound into focus: offbeat skank, breezy melodies and choruses made to be shared, played with the relaxed precision that defines the group.
