The ninth Solihull Summer Fest will see reggae legends UB40 featuring Brummie, Ali Campbell, take to the stage as headline act on Saturday 19th July at Tudor Grange Park.
UB40 featuring Ali Campbell will perform all the classic reggae hits including Red Red Wine, Kingston Town and Cherry Oh Baby as well as more recent material from their 2021 album Unprecedented.
Fuelled by the voice that powered UB40 to 70 million record sales and over fifty UK chart hits, Ali Campbell is again bringing some much-needed reggae cheer into the world as he takes the latest incarnation of his extraordinary band to the world’s biggest stages. Building on a legacy that dates back 45 years to his formative years in inner-city Birmingham, singer and guitarist Ali’s touring ensemble remains the most authentic realisation of UB40’s original aim of advancing reggae in all its guises.
Feel good festival, Solihull Summer Fest, will once again take over the park on Saturday 19th and Sunday 20th July bringing a weekend of unforgettable music and memories – it’s the Summer event of the year and one not to be missed!
Much of the 2025 line up is still under wraps, but organisers have revealed that Bananarama will be headlining on the Sunday 20th July. Fans will be treated to a trip down memory lane with legendary hits like Cruel Summer, Venus, Love In The First Degree, Robert De Niro’s Waiting, I Heard a Rumour and so many more!
Ian Rogers, organiser of Solihull Summer Fest said: “Securing UB40 ft. Ali Campbell as headliners is a dream come true for us. Their music is instantly recognisable and loved by people across all age groups.
“With even more exciting announcements on the way, this is set to be our biggest, most spectacular Summer Fest yet!”
In addition to the headline acts, Solihull Summer Fest will feature a line-up of supporting artists plus bar and street food vendors.
