UB40 with Ali, Astro and Mickey
There are, of course, two versions of UB40, the Birmingham, England band who rose to prominence in the early 1980s with their political-tinged reggae. One played with Billy Ocean at Taste of Dubai a couple of weeks ago, but it’s this one, UB40 with Ali, Astro and Mickey, that boasts the principal cast from the original band – including lead vocalist Ali Campbell. Supported by their 12-piece band, they will be mining all the hits from the previous 40 years, including their breakthrough song about unemployment “One in Ten” and 1986 hit “Rat in the Kitchen”. They have sold 70 million records and been touring almost non-stop for four decades, so they know how to entertain a crowd. If you miss them here, jump on a plane and catch them in Bahrain on Friday.
