Ali Campbell is the unmistakable voice behind one of the world’s most successful reggae bands, UB40. As the founding frontman, Ali helped drive over 100 million record sales, delivered international chart topping hits, and led the band through decades of sold out worldwide tours that defined British reggae on the global stage.
After steering UB40 through its biggest successes, Ali walked away when he could no longer support the bands business decisions and financial mismanagement, but he refused to let anything compromise the legacy he helped build.
He wasn’t alone Astro and Mickey made the same choice leaving the original lineup and joining Ali after facing the very same internal disputes and concerns over how the band was being run.
Reunited, the trio reignited the authentic spirit and sound fans had loved from the start. Today, Ali continues to tour the world, fill venues across continents, and release acclaimed new music carrying forward the true UB40 legacy with the people who helped shape it.
