Since forming in Birmingham in the late 1970s, UB40 has grown into one of the UK's most successful musical exports. As the biggest-selling and most successful touring reggae act in the world, the band has racked up over 100 million album sales, 50 UK hit singles, and 11 UK top 10 albums.
This 2027 show marks half a century of iconic chart-topping hits and socially conscious reggae classics. Four of the surviving founding members, Robin Campbell, Norman Hassan, Earl Falconer, and Jimmy Brown, remain at the heart of the 11-piece lineup alongside long-time brass section players Martin Meredith and Laurence Parry, and lead vocalist Matt Doyle.
Joining UB40 for this landmark event are Grammy Award-winning soul and R&B legends Soul II Soul. Led by founder Jazzie B and vocalist Charlotte Kelly, the group will bring their timeless fusion of dance, reggae, and soul to Auckland, featuring generational staples like 'Back To Life' and 'Keep On Movin'.
Presale tickets go live on Tuesday 11 August before general public sales open on Thursday 13 August. Secure your spots early to ensure you do not miss this monumental celebration of reggae and soul history.
