UB40 featuring Ali Campbell performed their biggest hits at Teufaiva Stadium in Nuku'alofa tonight, 28 January 2026, marking their return to Tonga after 20 years. The concert drew over 5000 fans, the majority of whom were young people, to the stadium.
The crowd sang and danced along to iconic hits such as "Cherry Oh Baby," "Maybe Tomorrow," and "Groovin."
The concert also featured performances by popular local and international Pacific opening artists, including Richard Parker, Kennyon Brown, Fejoint, and Suliasi Pole'o.
The band is currently touring the South Pacific as part of "The Big Love Tour," which kicked off here in Tonga.
It was an unforgettable night for the thousands in attendance, who enjoyed over six hours of music from both the opening acts and UB40.
