UB40 return to their home city for a triumphant headline performance at Resorts World Arena Birmingham, closing their 2026 UK Tour with one of the most emotionally significant shows of the entire run. For a band born in Birmingham’s diverse neighbourhoods — formed by friends whose shared experiences shaped the sound of British reggae-pop — this homecoming is more than a concert: it is a celebration of identity, heritage, community and legacy.
The setlist will be a full journey through UB40’s storied career, with powerful performances of “Red Red Wine,” “Kingston Town,” “One in Ten,” “Cherry Oh Baby,” and more. Thousands of voices will rise to meet the melodies that have defined decades of British cultural life.
Birmingham audiences will bring extraordinary energy, making this closing night a deeply memorable moment for both the band and their fans. Expect emotion, nostalgia and a profound sense of connection as UB40 return to the city where it all began — delivering a night that celebrates not just their music, but the communities, cultures and lived histories that gave rise to it.
