UB40 & Reggae Night with Ultimate 40 Band – New Year’s Eve

Looking for a lively but affordable way to celebrate New Year’s Eve in Birmingham?

Join us at Austin Sports & Social Club in Longbridge for a brilliant night of live reggae, classic UB40 songs, dancing and celebration with the fantastic Ultimate 40 Band.

From well-known UB40 favourites to reggae classics that fill the dance floor, this is your chance to enjoy live entertainment and welcome 2027 without paying city-centre New Year’s Eve prices.

Is this New Year’s Eve event right for you?

This night is perfect if you:

• Love UB40, reggae and feel-good party music
• Want somewhere local to celebrate New Year’s Eve
• Prefer live entertainment to an expensive nightclub
• Are planning a night out with friends, family or your partner
• Want reserved seating and earlier entry with a VIP ticket

If you’re looking for a quiet meal or a formal black-tie event, this probably isn’t the night for you. Expect a friendly atmosphere, a busy dance floor, live music and plenty of people singing along.

What can you expect?

The Ultimate 40 Band will bring the unmistakable sound of UB40 and classic reggae to Longbridge with two live performance sets.

You can expect familiar songs, infectious reggae rhythms and a party atmosphere designed to keep you dancing as we count down to the New Year.

A DJ will also provide music throughout the evening, before and after the live performance.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a seated event?

Seating is available, but only VIP tickets include reserved prime seating. General admission seating is not guaranteed in a particular location.

Can we come as a group?

Absolutely. This is a great event for groups, but we strongly recommend purchasing all your tickets together so you can arrive and be seated together where possible.

Do I need to like every UB40 song?

Not at all. The evening includes a mixture of UB40 favourites, classic reggae music and party songs from the DJ. It’s designed to be a complete New Year’s Eve night out, not simply a concert.

Will tickets be available on the door?

Do not rely on tickets being available on the night. New Year’s Eve events often sell in advance, and both General Admission and VIP tickets are subject to availability.
