UB40 featuring Ali Campbell have locked in a string of headline shows in Australia next year.

The UK-formed outfit will bring the Big Love world tour down under next January, with headline shows confirmed in Melbourne, Sydney, Newcastle and the Gold Coast.

Per a statement released today (August 7th), “UB40 featuring Ali Campbell will unleash a formidable live set that contains material spanning over four decades.  In remaining true to the authentic reggae spirit that kick-started his music career in the late 70’s, the lead singer brings the band’s legendary catalogue back to life.  Backed by a powerhouse nine-piece touring ensemble and fresh off major stages worldwide, Ali’s band is widely regarded as “the most authentic realisation of UB40’s original aim of advancing reggae in all its guises.”
