Following their sold-out UK tour of 2014, reggae stars UB40 have announced eighteen-date UK tour for May 2015 due to demand.

The Brummie legends are currently in the middle of the second leg of their ‘Getting Over The Storm UK Tour’, which has seen UK’s most successful reggae band play over forty UK shows to over 100,000 fans.

UB40’s 2015 tour dates, which start at Inverness’ Eden Court on Tuesday, 5th May and ends at Dartford’s Orchard Theatre on Friday, 29th May, continues the band’s preference to avoid arena venues in the UK, as founding member and principal songwriter Brian Travers explains, “The success of this year’s tour has confirmed what we already knew, that it’s better to play to 100,000 people across forty intimate venues across the whole of the country than playing to the same number of people at six enormous domes in the same cities. It’s a much better experience for both the band and our fans, and we get to play in towns and cities we haven’t visited for many years.”
