The world legendary reggae band, UB40, is set to perform live in Singapore for an exclusive show at The MasterCard Theatres at Marina Bay Sands on 2 April 2016 at 8pm. The one-night-only show will have UB40 fans singing and grooving along to their greatest hits, featuring founding members of the band, Ali Campbell, Mickey Virtue and Astro. Tickets go on sale now at www.MarinaBaySands.com/ticketing from S$88 to S$258.
The four-time Grammy Award nominees are also one of the world’s bestselling artistes with over 70 million albums sold worldwide, and are known for their unique blend of reggae, pop, dub and ska sound. The band was first formed in 1978 and has had over 50 singles in the UK charts, and also a nomination for the Best British Group at the Brit Award.
UB40’s breakthrough came with their hit single, Red, Red Wine, which topped the British singles chart and reached the number one spot in the US. Other popular songs by the band include I Got You Babe, recorded with Chrissie Hynde of The Pretenders, Rat In The Kitchen and Can’t Help Falling In Love, which topped the U.S. pop chart for seven consecutive weeks.
The band’s initial line up lasted for 30 years from the band’s formation in 1978 until front-man Ali Campbell’s departure from the band in 2008. Since that time, two other founding members; Mickey Virtue, and Astro, have also left the band, and the trio of Campbell, Virtue, and Astro have since formed UB40 Reunited. These three founding members are now embarking on a huge world tour, which the fans have been crying out for and Singapore will be one of their stops for the tour.
