Says Robin Campbell, \u201cWe\u2019re so excited to finally be going back to America, after the hiatus caused by the pandemic. We can\u2019t wait to feel the vibe and love of a live crowd in the states, and for all the UB40 fans to meet our new vocalist Matt as well. They can expect a phenomenal show. We\u2019ll be sure to bring the party.\u201d<\/p>\n
Adds Jeff Epstein of Universal Attractions Agency, \u201cWe’re really excited about this tour, and we can tell the fans are too. UB40 are legends, and it’s our honor to present them in celebration of their new album. These shows promise to be a one-of-a-kind experience this summer with four reggae greats all on one stage. We’re so grateful everyone hung in there through the uncertainty of the pandemic shut-down to see this through.”<\/p>\n
