Ali Campbell of UB40 will perform alongside local artist Ruts & La Isla Music in Tenerife on August 1st, highlighting the Canary Islands' rising status as a premier destination for international concert tours.

The Canary Islands’ music scene is gaining international attention with a new concert lineup that blends global reggae legends with local talent. On August 1st, Ruts & La Isla Music will join Ali Campbell, the iconic voice of UB40, for a performance in Tenerife. The event, organized by Atlántico Producciones, will be held at the Palmetum parking lot.

This collaboration is part of a growing trend of pairing established regional artists with world-renowned performers. With a career spanning over two decades, Ruts & La Isla Music has developed a unique sound that blends neo-soul and Latin rhythms with an island influence. Her music is known for its focus on social issues, particularly themes of equality and resilience.

Ali Campbell remains a major draw for reggae fans in the archipelago. As a central figure of UB40, his catalog of hits has made him a defining name in reggae music. Bringing these two acts together highlights Tenerife’s growing importance as a key stop on the summer concert circuit, bridging the gap between legendary international icons and the vibrant contemporary music being created on the islands.
