From Birmingham to the world – the story of UB40
UB40 was founded in Birmingham in 1978. The band, led by singer Ali Campbell, quickly attracted attention with their unique mix of reggae, pop and ska. Incidentally, the name ‘UB40’ comes from the British unemployment form ‘Unemployment Benefit, Form 40’ – a reference to the band's socially critical roots.
With their debut album Signing Off (1980), UB40 laid the foundation for an impressive career. The 1980s and 1990s saw the release of global hits such as ‘Red Red Wine’, ‘(I Can't Help) Falling in Love with You’ and ‘Kingston Town’, which remain among the most played reggae songs of all time.
Successes and awards
UB40 have sold over 70 million albums worldwide and are considered one of the most successful reggae bands of all time. They have played at the world's biggest festivals, received numerous gold and platinum awards and have had a decisive influence on the genre with their melodic, danceable style.
