UB40 featuring Ali Campbell in Brighton

UB40 featuring Ali Campbell is a British reggae-pop band led by UB40’s original lead singer. Campbell’s voice is heard on the group’s best-known recordings, including “Red Red Wine,” “Kingston Town” and “Can’t Help Falling in Love,” and those songs form the core of this band’s repertoire. The A Real Labour of Love tour followed the 2018 album of the same name and took Campbell’s version of the band through UK arenas. After Astro’s death in 2021, Campbell kept the group on the road under the UB40 featuring Ali Campbell name, and in 2024 it performed on the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury Festival.

Katchafire is a New Zealand roots-reggae band formed in Hamilton in 1997. The group began as a Bob Marley tribute act before developing its own catalogue, including the albums Revival, Slow Burning and Say What You’re Thinking, and songs such as “Giddy Up,” “Get Away” and “Who You With.” Katchafire moved beyond its tribute-band beginnings by touring its original material throughout Australia, the United States and Europe. The concerts use a full-band format and draw on the group’s multiple vocalists, reggae rhythm section and dub-influenced arrangements. The band has performed at California Roots Music and Arts Festival in Monterey and Rototom Sunsplash in Benicàssim.
