Formed in 1978, the group entered the music scene with their debut album ‘Signing Off’ in August 1980 – considered by many to be one of the greatest reggae albums ever released by a British band.

Since then UB40 have had over 40 UK Top 40 hit singles and sold over 100 million records, making them one of the most successful British groups of all time.

Performing at Mitchell Park, Castlederg on July 24, the legends are sure to play well known hits such as Red Red Wine, Kingston Town and Can’t Help Falling in Love with You.

As well as dancing and singing the night away, the winner will also get the chance to enjoy views of the River Foyle and across to the hills of Donegal from the comfort of their room at the Everglades Hotel.
