Reggae-pop icons UB40 are heading back to North America this fall, bringing decades of global hits and new music to audiences during their upcoming “The Unstoppable Tour.”
The four-time Grammy-nominated British band will launch the 40-city U.S. and Canadian tour Sept. 18, with the North American run continuing through Nov. 15. The tour includes a Sept. 25 performance at The Town Hall in New York City.
The upcoming tour marks UB40’s fifth consecutive year performing in North America. The group will visit major cities across the United States and Canada, including Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, Minneapolis, Vancouver, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Dallas, Atlanta and Miami-area markets.
Fans can expect performances of some of UB40’s best-known songs, including “Red Red Wine,” “Food For Thought,” “(I Can’t Help) Falling in Love With You,” “Here I Am (Come and Take Me)” and “The Way You Do The Things You Do.”
The band will also introduce U.S. audiences to its cover of Shania Twain’s “You’re Still The One,” which is scheduled to appear on UB40’s upcoming album, expected in 2027.
“We can’t wait to embark on ‘The Unstoppable Tour,’ as the tour title says that’s how we are feeling! New music, more shows than our last visit, and a more extensive tour of Canada. This will be our fifth consecutive year back in North America and we couldn’t be happier to be coming back. We’re currently putting the finishing touches on our new album which will be out early in 2027, and we can’t wait for the fans to hear what we have been cooking up!” said Robin Campbell.
The band’s current lineup features founding members James Brown, Robin Campbell, Earl Falconer and Norman Hassan, along with Martin Meredith, Jahred Gordon, Laurence Parry, Ian Thompson, Gilly G, Matt Campbell and lead vocalist and guitarist Matt Doyle.
Doyle has fronted UB40 on its last four major tours and appeared on the group’s 2024 album, “UB45,” which celebrated the band’s 45th anniversary and reached No. 5 on the U.K. Official Albums Chart.
Formed in Birmingham, England, in 1978, UB40 has sold more than 100 million albums worldwide and has accumulated more than 50 U.K. charting singles and 17 U.K. Top 10 albums. The band has spent more than 11 combined years on the charts and remains one of the most successful reggae groups in music history.
