UK reggae royalty UB40 are touring Australia to celebrate their 40th Anniversary and first album in more than five years, bringing a special show to the Gold Coast on Sunday May 3.

Having previously sold out their 2015, 2017 and 2018 Australian tours, the quintessential UK reggae group will return to Australia in May, performing hits from their latest album For The Many at HOTA. Along with new hits, there will be a heavy dose of UB40 classics, including ‘Red Red Wine’, ‘I Got You Babe’ and ‘Falling In Love With You’. Becoming a household name around the world throughout the 80s and 90s, UB40 (named after the UK’s unemployment benefit form) became known for reviving reggae across the world, filling the charts with their own songs and creating seminal versions of some of the world’s greatest tunes, crossing radio formats and continuing to dominate the airwaves to this day. With over forty top 40 hits in their native Britain and sales of over 100 million records, the band are one of the biggest UK music acts of all time and continue to record charting albums while touring across the world.

UB40’s 40th Anniversary Tour show starts at 8:00 pm on May 3. Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased online.
