Las Vegas music lovers have a reason to mark their calendars. UB40, the four‑time Grammy‑nominated pop‑reggae group, will headline the Unstoppable Tour at Brooklyn Bowl on Nov 1. The concert promises a blend of the band’s biggest chart‑toppers and fresh material, offering a night of family‑friendly entertainment for the city’s diverse audience.
What fans can expect
The set list will include UB40’s worldwide No. 1 singles such as “Red Red Wine” and “(I Can’t Help) Falling in Love With You,” as well as U.S. Top 10 hits “Here I Am (Come and Take Me)” and “The Way You Do The Things You Do.” In a first‑time U.S. performance, the band will also cover Shania Twain’s “You’re Still the One,” a track slated for a new album slated for release in 2027.
Band lineup and special moments
The official UB40 lineup will feature original and founding members Jimmy Brown (drums), Robin Campbell (guitar, vocals), Earl Falconer (bass, vocals) and Norman Hassan (percussion, vocals). Supporting musicians include Martin Meredith (keyboards/WX7/saxophone), Jahred Gordon (keyboards), Laurence Parry (trumpet/flugel/trombone), Ian Thompson (saxophone), Gilly G (MC vocals) and backing vocalist Matt Campbell. Lead vocalist and guitarist Matt Doyle will front the show.
A highlight of the evening will be a first‑time on‑stage duet: Robin Campbell’s son, Matt Campbell, who normally sings background vocals, will join Doyle for a special performance, adding a personal family touch to the concert.
UB40’s legacy and recent work
Formed in Birmingham, England, in 1978, UB40 has sold more than 100 million albums worldwide and amassed over 50 UK charting singles and 17 UK Top 10 albums. The group’s lineup has evolved over the decades, most notably with the 2008 departure of former lead singer Ali Campbell and the 2021 retirement of his brother Duncan Campbell. Matt Doyle has led the band since, steering the last four major tours and fronting the 2024 album “UB45,” which reached No. 5 on the official UK album chart.
