Outdoor reggae show at Palmer Park featuring UB40 with Ali Campbell, plus special guests David Rodigan, M Dot R, Beatles Dub Club and Marley Experience.
UB40 ft. Ali Campbell are playing Palmer Park on Friday 4 June 2027, as part of The Park Series. It's an outdoor reggae show, and the headliners are joined by a full supporting line-up: David Rodigan, M Dot R, Beatles Dub Club and Marley Experience.
UB40 are cited as one of the most successful British reggae bands of all time, and the set will draw on a catalogue of hits that most of us know by heart. Red Red Wine and Kingston Town are the big ones, alongside (I Can't Help) Falling in Love With You and Cherry Oh Baby. It's the kind of bill that works as well on a sunny afternoon as it does in a club, and with a few different acts on the bill, there's plenty to get through before the main set.
The Park Series itself is an outdoor concert series that's already run in Leicester, Hitchin, Brighton and Newcastle, and this Reading date at Palmer Park is its latest addition. It's a day-long affair rather than a one-off evening slot, so you'll want to get there early to catch the guests.
