Chart Topping British Reggae Band UB40 to Perform at Morongo Casino Resort & Spa

Cabazon, California (February 6, 2009) —The British reggae group UB40 will perform at Morongo Casino Resort & Spa on April 25, 2009.

UB40, a regular on the British music charts since 1980 didn’t reach notoriety in the U.S. until 1988, when the group performed "Red Red Wine" at a Nelson Mandela tribute concert. The song originally released in 1983 on the Labour of Love album gained momentum in the states after the concert and climbed to the top of the US charts. The band continued its success in the U.S. producing hits singles with their versions of The Temptations "The Way You Do the Things You Do," Al Green's "Here I Am (Come and Take Me)," and Elvis Presley's "Can't Help Falling In Love."

Tickets for the show start at $30 and go on sale February 16 at the Morongo Box Office at 1-800-252-4499 or through Ticketmaster. All major credit cards are accepted. Audience members must be 17 years or older. Showtime is at 8:00 p.m. PST.
