British Reggae/Pop Legends Still Going Strong

Hailing from Birmingham, UB40 has spent more than four decades proving themselves as one of the hardest-working touring bands in popular music. Their live performances continue to attract multigenerational audiences, a testament to the band’s enduring relevance and universal appeal.

The group was last seen in the Netherlands in 2024. Delivering two memorable performances — an open-air concert at Tilburg’s Spoorpark followed by a sold-out Ziggo Dome show just months later. Their return to Dutch soil signals another must-see event for reggae lovers.

Today’s UB40 lineup features founding members Robin Campbell (vocals/guitar), Jimmy Brown (drums), Earl Falconer (bass/vocals), and Norman Hassan (percussion/trombone/vocals). They are joined by Matt Doyle (lead vocals), Martin Meredith (saxophone/WX7/keys), Laurence Parry (trumpet/flugelhorn). Ian Thompson (saxophone), Jahred Gordon (keys), and longtime guest emcee Gilly G, creating a powerful ensemble that continues to bring the UB40 sound to stages worldwide.

With their proven track record of sold-out shows and hit-filled performances, the upcoming Rotterdam concert is shaping up to be one of the standout reggae events of the season.
