About the event

 

The unmistakable voice behind UB40’s biggest hits is returning to the South Pacific for ‘Kingston Calling 2026’. Presented by Mai FM and Fabrik, this brand new summer festival tour headlined by UB40 featuring Ali Campbell, will take place across six iconic outdoor venues in New Zealand this February.



Each show will be a festival experience, also featuring a stellar cast of Aotearoa’s finest performers. Expect summer vibes, delicious food and drinks, sing-alongs, and an atmosphere powered by the love of music.

​

UB40 featuring Ali Campbell return to New Zealand for their first full tour since 2019. Fuelled by the voice that powered UB40 to over 70 million records sold and more than 50 UK chart hits, Ali Campbell brings the band’s legendary catalogue back to life, including Red Red Wine, Kingston Town, Cherry Oh Baby, and (I Can’t Help) Falling in Love With You.



Backed by a powerhouse nine-piece touring ensemble and fresh off major stages worldwide, Ali’s band is widely regarded as “the most authentic realisation of UB40’s original aim of advancing reggae in all its guises.”



“I think I’ve got the best reggae band in the world, and you can quote me on that.” – Ali Campbell
