UB40 vineyard tour

UB40 vineyard tour

Featuring the original members Ali Campbell, Astro and Mickey Virtue, will be returning to New Zealand in early 2016 for their first ever vineyard tour.

One of New Zealand’s much loved festival acts, the Red Red Wine Vineyard Tour sees the band headline a series of concerts in some of the country’s most stunning locations.

The original line-up of UB40 with Ali, Astro and Mickey enjoyed huge success over a period of 30 years from 1979 to 2008, with #1 albums, multiple gold and platinum selling albums, Grammy nominations, 4 worldwide #1 hits and over 70 million in sales. Now reunited again, they continue to take their smooth yet rootsy blend around the world and their live performances never fail to uplift the audience.

“We love coming to New Zealand and have always wanted to play in the more intimate vineyard settings” explains lead singer Ali Campbell, “we can’t wait to finally do it this summer!”

UB40’s chart hits include Red Red Wine, Cherry Oh Baby, Kingston Town, (I Can’t Help) Falling In Love With You, I Got You Babe, One in Ten, Rat in Mi Kitchen, If It Happens Again, Homely Girl…and the list goes on!

The Red Red Wine Vineyard Tour takes place from Thursday 7th – Saturday 16th January 2016. Full details, including venues will be announced soon.

Venue capacities will be limited. Fans can register now for earlybird pre-sale tickets at www.jacman.co.nz
