UB40 to Headline Blue Horizon Concert on August 18 at UVI in St. Thomas

The University of the Virgin Islands’ Reichhold Center for the Arts (RCA) is set to present the 2nd Annual Blue Horizon Concert on Sunday, August 18. The event will feature the four-time Grammy-nominated reggae band UB40. The outdoor concert will be held on the Herman E. Moore Golf Course at the Orville E. Kean Campus on St. Thomas, starting at 6 p.m.

This concert marks the final show on UB40’s official U.S. tour, “Red Red Wine Tour”, which coincides with the release of their 45th Anniversary album, UB45. The band will perform their worldwide hit singles such as “Red Red Wine,” “Food For Thought,” and “(I Can’t Help) Falling In Love With You,” alongside new songs from UB45. Virgin Islands bands, including RVP Band, Reggae Dynasty, and Dub Lab, will be the opening acts.

“We are thrilled to be part of UB40’s U.S. tour and to bring one of the world’s most loved reggae bands to the U.S. Virgin Islands for an unforgettable night of music under the stars,” said RCA Director Denise Humphrey. “While the Reichhold Center for the Arts facility is under reconstruction, we remain committed to enriching the cultural and social life of the VI community with world-class performances from across the globe and to showcasing our local talent.”
