UB40

UB40 arrives at Forest National on 15 March 2026 for a concert that dives back into the history of British reggae. Formed in Birmingham in the late 1970s, the band established a sound recognisable from a mile away: supple riddims, a prominent brass section, rounded bass lines and unforgettable choruses. Their pop-tinged reggae has spanned decades without losing its social grounding, from early originals to covers that have travelled the world.

On the bill, expect a journey through their repertoire: Red Red Wine, Kingston Town, One in Ten, Food for Thought, Rat in Mi Kitchen and (I Can't Help) Falling in Love with You. UB40 have a way of marrying everyday commentary with luminous melodies — the balance that has charmed multiple generations. On stage, the group's dynamic comes from the blend of voices, the warmth of the brass and a measured yet precise groove, designed to hold the hall from the first to the last song.

Join us on 15 March 2026 at Forest National to experience UB40 in a decidedly live format, between revisited classics and more recent tracks.
