UB40 arrive at Connexin Live Hull as part of their 2026 UK Tour, bringing their signature blend of reggae, dub and soulful pop to East Yorkshire. Hull, a city with a proud tradition of welcoming global cultural influences, is a fitting destination for a band whose music has always celebrated diversity, identity and community. With over four decades of international success, UB40 remain one of Britain’s most beloved musical institutions — and this Hull date will offer fans an evening filled with joy, nostalgia and deep rhythmic warmth.
The show will feature UB40’s most recognisable anthems: “Red Red Wine,” “Kingston Town,” “Food for Thought,” “Here I Am,” “I Got You Babe,” and many more. These songs have travelled across radios, dance halls and family gatherings for years, creating cherished memories for millions. To hear them live is to reconnect with the emotions and stories attached to them — love, loss, resilience, hope, and the enduring spirit of togetherness.
Connexin Live’s modern layout and crisp acoustics make it an ideal venue for UB40’s sound. Every horn flourish, bassline and harmony will fill the space with clarity and richness. The band’s live arrangements often expand on their recorded versions, giving familiar tracks new depth and nuance. Fans can expect extended grooves, instrumental highlights and moments where the crowd becomes part of the performance — singing choruses that have become part of Britain’s cultural fabric.
The communal energy at UB40 concerts is legendary. Their audiences bring people together across ages and backgrounds — a multi-generational gathering united by music rooted in Caribbean traditions, filtered through British experiences and shaped by decades of shared listening. This Hull performance will continue that tradition, creating an atmosphere of positivity and inclusion.
UB40’s political and social awareness has always been a key part of their identity. Songs like “One in Ten” remain powerful reminders of the realities faced by many working-class communities, while their more romantic and uplifting tracks showcase the band’s incredible melodic sensibility. In concert, this mixture creates a journey through both head and heart.
Hull’s 2026 show will be an evening of rhythm, emotion and celebration — a chance to honour the legacy of a band that helped shape the soundscape of modern Britain. Expect dancing, singing and a powerful sense of connection from start to finish.
