UB40 at Uptown Theater

Relentless Tour

British reggae-pop is making a North American comeback this Summer and Fall 2025 on UB40’s much-awaited “Relentless” Tour! “No doubt we’ll be clocking up the miles on the road,” said co-founding member/drummer Jimmy Brown before going on to praise their fan bases across the continent, “American audiences are so much fun to play to... So loud in their appreciation.” The tour plots 33 cities for its coast-to-coast trek, crossing into Missouri via St. Louis, followed by Kansas City on Tuesday, September 16, at the Uptown Theater!

For the fourth year in a row, Birmingham’s sensational UB40 returns to electrify the hottest venues, amphitheaters, and arenas in the US and Canada with such indelible hits, crossover songs, and chart-topping covers of ‘60s pop classics. The 11-piece ensemble, renowned for their 1980 debut singles “King” / “Food for Thought,” delivers slick, reggae-oriented pop-rock that has defined a generation of UK fans who, to this day, remain enthusiasts of their stylish, politically aware music productions, which include the Top 10-charting “One in Ten.” UB40’s legacy will shine its brightest on stage as they bring back their iconic renditions of jukebox standards, deemed synonymous with their brand. The band’s most popular ones comprise double-platinum, worldwide number-one covers of Neil Diamond’s “Red Red Wine” and Elvis Presley’s “(I Can't Help) Falling in Love with You,” with other best-selling singles like “The Way You Do the Things You Do,” “Kingston Town,” “I Got You Babe,” “Homely Girl,” and “Here I Am (Come and Take Me).”

UB40’s “Relentless” set will feature hits leading up to their milestone 20th studio album, via SoNo, UB45 (2024), which debuted at No. 5 on the UK Official Albums Chart, spanning multiple platinum LPs, including Labour of Love (1983), Promises and Lies (1993), and more.
