UB40 turned Red Red Wine and Can't Help Falling in Love into global reggae-pop standards, and their 45th-anniversary tour promises the hits alongside deep cuts and new UB45 material. The Town Hall is a seated 1920s landmark with excellent sound, a much closer room than the arenas the band once filled. If you grew up on these songs, this is a comfortable, singalong night in Midtown.
What to expect
A seated historic theater off Times Square with a crowd that stands up by the second half. Expect a horn-heavy band, the familiar skanking rhythms and a set that moves from fan favorites to reworked versions from the anniversary album.
