Pretty sure Ali Campbell isn’t a tribute act.

2 decent albums 45 years ago and survived on reggae covers ever since = tribute act in my book.

Love listening to King and other tracks on signing off, with the base turned right up. I told someone here recently where the name comes from she had no idea, millennial’s hey! Those were depressing times but the music was great

The two brothers both have their own versions of UB40 after falling out ...both bands can still play big venues so folks still like them .

I can remember seeing them around 45 years ago supporting The Pretenders when their debut album came out.

And we will fight for the right to be free

And we will build our own society

And we will sing, we will sing

We will sing our own song

Thanks to everyone for your replies. It was an absolutely amazing set despite the rain. Ali Campbell’s voice is still superb. Hope anyone else who went to watch it also enjoyed it as much.
