(ATLANTIC CITY, NJ) -- Fronted by the unmistakable voice of Ali Campbell, UB40 Featuring Ali Campbell will be bringing their Big Love Tour to Ocean Casino Resort in Atlantic City with Matisyahu on Friday, May 1, 2026. Showtime is 9:00pm.

Fronted by Ali Campbell—known as the legendary original lead singer of UB40—UB40 Featuring Ali Campbell features the same band of world class players who have performed with him since 2008.  Tapping into the pulse of the Caribbean with respect and invoking the magic of its music with reverence, Ali—who eternally remains the voice, the face, and the sound of UB40—has struck a chord with one generation of fans after another as the founding frontman and original lead “vocALIst" of UB40 and now as the namesake of UB40 Featuring Ali Campbell.

At the very mention of “Red Red Wine,” “Kingston Town,” “(I Can’t Help) Falling In Love With You,” or dozens of other hits, audiences can’t help but think of ALI’s inimitable vocals punctuated by his irreplaceable intonation, butter-smooth delivery, and bold British soul. His voice has catalyzed sales of 100 million albums, 40 Top 20 hits (as well as four #1’s), billions of streams, and innumerable accolades.

Tickets start at $49 and are available for purchase online. Ocean Casino Resort is located at 500 Boardwalk in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

Beyond earning a GRAMMY® Award nomination, he has also garnered the prestigious Ivor Novello Award for “International Achievement” and the Mauritius Government Award. Accompanied by an elite cohort of world-class players, he properly continues the legacy of UB40 with the classic sound listeners know and love on the road in 2026 and beyond.

“UB40 is my legacy,” he smiles. “It’s an absolute joy to travel everywhere and sing these songs to lovely audiences. This is reggae; it brings people together and unifies them. It doesn’t matter if you’re 10-years-old or 100-years-old, it’s always a happy time. This is what I’ve done for the last 40-plus years of my adult life. I have no intention of ever stopping either.”

Matisyahu, the genre-bending American artist known for "King Without a Crown" and his unique fusion of reggae, hip-hop, and spiritual lyricism. Together, they create a powerful live experience that bridges generations and styles.
