Legendary British reggae group UB40, fronted by original lead singer Ali Campbell, is set to perform live in Kigali on June 9, 2026, at BK Arena.<\/p>\n
The highly anticipated show marks the band\u2019s first-ever performance in Rwanda, bringing decades of global hits to one of Africa\u2019s fastest-rising entertainment capitals. Known for classics like Red Red Wine, Kingston Town, and (I Can\u2019t Help) Falling in Love With You, UB40\u2019s catalog has defined reggae\u2019s crossover into mainstream global music.<\/p>\n
The Kigali stop is part of their international Big Love Tour, a worldwide run celebrating more than 40 years of success, with the band continuing to draw massive audiences across continents.
\nUB40 are no strangers to the continent. Over the years, they have performed extensively across Africa, including major shows in South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Kenya building a loyal fan base through decades of touring. However, Kigali remains a new stop, making this concert a standout moment for both the band and local fans.<\/p>\n
With BK Arena\u2019s world-class setup and growing reputation for hosting major international acts, the concert is expected to attract fans from across the region, reinforcing Kigali\u2019s position on the global touring map.
