UB40 featuring Ali Campbell
UB40 featuring Ali Campbell, led by the distinctive voice that propelled the original UB40 to sell 70 million records, continues bringing reggae to international stages with authentic and vibrant energy. The band, comprised of seasoned musicians, has evolved since its beginnings in Birmingham 45 years ago, establishing itself as one of the best groups in the genre. Their performances blend iconic hits like “Red Red Wine” and “Kingston Town” with new compositions, delivering a show that celebrates reggae in all its forms.
UB40’s legacy includes socially conscious songs like “Food For Thought”, addressing famine in Africa, and “One In Ten”, spotlighting issues such as unemployment and inequality. After Ali left the original lineup in 2008, his solo career and new projects with former bandmates, including the late Astro, have kept the group’s essence alive. Recent albums like Unprecedented have tackled contemporary themes while paying homage to classic reggae with fresh innovation, also featuring collaborations with legendary musicians.
On Tuesday July 22nd, UB40 featuring Ali Campbell will perform at Starlite Occident, offering a unique opportunity to experience their vibrant live music. With a mix of generations in their audience, the band continues to prove that reggae is a universal language that unites people in challenging times.

Starlite Occident Marbella 2025
THE BEST BOUTIQUE FESTIVAL IN THE WORLD
After fourteen editions, Starlite Occident has established itself as the longest-running boutique festival, featuring more than 60 days of concerts.
In the same space, music, culture and gastronomy converge, providing an exceptional event for those who long for close and intimate shows in an environment of incomparable beauty. Its programming includes options for all audiences, ages and musical tastes.
At Starlite Occident the sound is another level, being the only festival in Spain that uses the most advanced audio system in the world, the same one used at Sphere Immersive in Las Vegas. Each note is perceived with a clarity impossible to find at another festival. Here music is not only heard, it is felt.
The experience begins before the concert with its gastronomic offer in a summer terrace atmosphere, and continues after the show with shows and DJs where you can dance in an unparalleled environment. Starlite Occident offers the possibility of acquiring the complete experience by adding dinner to the concert in one of its five restaurants or a table in the Sessions area to enjoy the after parties.
In addition, the Starlite Gala takes place every year. Led by its hosts, Antonio Banderas and Sandra García-Sanjuán, it has become the charity event par excellence, rewarding the solidarity work of those who have made others' cause their own.
