UB40 Live Featuring Ali Campbell refers to performances by Ali Campbell, the original lead vocalist of UB40, alongside a band that recreates the reggae sound UB40 is famous for. UB40, a legendary British reggae and pop band formed in 1978 in Birmingham, is known for hits like Red Red Wine, Kingston Town, and Can’t Help Falling in Love.

In recent years, UB40 has been split into two groups:

1. UB40 with Ali Campbell, Astro, and Mickey Virtue: This faction formed after disputes within the band. Ali Campbell, along with Astro (until his death in 2021) and Mickey Virtue, sought to carry on the UB40 legacy independently.
2. UB40 Featuring Robin Campbell: This is the remaining group, led by Ali’s brother Robin Campbell and other members of the original UB40.
