A trio of original UB40 stars are bound for Irish shores this autumn. Ali Campbell, Astro and Mickey Virtue – three of the names that kick-started UB40 back in 1978 and made it the most successful British reggae act of all time over the course of three decades – will be bringing the likes of 'Red, Red Wine' and 'Kingston Town' to Dublin's Olympia Theatre on Wednesday October 22.

Tickets are priced at €42 and go on sale next Thursday, June 26 at 9am from usual outlets.
