UB40

Legendary British band UB40 returns to the Netherlands! On Saturday, 21 March 2026, the reggae-pop icons will perform live at Rotterdam Ahoy. With over 100 million albums sold and more than 50 UK chart hits, UB40 remains one of Britain’s most successful and influential groups of all time.

British reggae-pop legends

Formed in Birmingham over 40 years ago, UB40 has built a reputation as one of the hardest-working touring bands in pop music. After sold-out shows across Europe and two major performances in the Netherlands in 2024 — including an open-air concert at Tilburg’s Spoorpark and a packed Ziggo Dome — the group is now set to light up Ahoy.

The current line-up features founding members Robin Campbell (vocals/guitar), Jimmy Brown (drums), Earl Falconer (bass/vocals) and Norman Hassan (percussion/trombone/vocals), joined by Matt Doyle (lead vocals), Martin Meredith (saxophone/keyboards), Laurence Parry (trumpet/flugelhorn), Ian Thompson (saxophone), Jahred Gordon (keyboards), and guest emcee Gilly G.

Date: Saturday 21 March 2026
