UB40 Announce U.S. Tour Dates For Fall 2010


UB40 is back in the U.S. for the first time in over two years and will be celebrating by playing intimate concert venues (2,000 +) to celebrate their 30 years. Not surprisingly, six of the twelve announced dates are in California, which has always provided the band with some of its most passionate American fans.

The band has recently released 'Labour Of Love IV' (its first with new band vocalist Duncan Campbell on all the tracks) and are also gearing up for a fall UK tour to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the release of 'Signing Off' where they will play the album in its entirety. Its unclear if the band will be promoting the latest Labour Of Love release or might mix in some songs from their first LP released in 1980 during the U.S tour dates.

Below are videos of tow of the tracks from 'Labour Of Love IV' including 'Cream Puff' and 'Man Next Door'.





Below is a list of U.S tour dates confirmed so far. There is one show in Canada confirmed. A few more may be added. I plan to go to the BB King's show in New York! I may try and pull together a meet-up for fans before or after the show. Stay tuned!
