Reggae legends UB40 have chosen Mayo to begin their first tour in some time.
The British band will be in the Royal Theatre, Castlebar on 19th November, with tickets now on sale.
The show will celebrate the release of their forthcoming new album Bigga Baggardiddim. But concert fans can also expect to hear their big hits like Food For Thought, Kingston Town, (I Can’t Help) Falling in Love With You and, probably their best-known song, the Neil Diamond composition Red, Red Wine.

Their tour has already been deferred by the Covid-19 pandemic, but tickets will remain valid for the rescheduled dates.
Robin Campbell, guitarist and vocalist says: “We really believe this will be the last time we’ve had to move theses dates because of Covid, we’re going stir crazy and just want to get back on the road again.”
The Bigga Baggardiddim Tour will travel across the UK and Ireland for UB40’s highly anticipated return to the road.
2021 sees the arrival of UB40’s new collaborations album Bigga Baggariddim, the follow up to the band’s critically acclaimed and internationally successful 1985 release Baggariddim.
Bigga Baggariddim is an international celebration of reggae, featuring New Zealand’s House of Shem, India’s Reggae Rajahs, reggae veterans Inner Circle, Tippa Irie and Winston Francis, and newbies Gilly G. Kioko, BLVK H3RO and Leno Banton. The album also includes tracks with Pablo Rider and Slinger, who both featured on the 1985 Baggariddim album.
UB40 formed in 1978 and have since transcended their working-class origins to become one of the most successful reggae bands in the world, selling more than 100 million records worldwide and spending over a combined 11 years in the UK album chart. They have also scored many Top 40 UK hit singles, including three No.1 singles.
