In March 2008, UB40 will release their next studio album titled '24/7'. UB40 are about to embark on their U.K tour and will be releasing a very special edition dub album titled Dub Sessions. This album will not be made available in stores but can be purchased at concerts.
On January 24, 2008 it was announced that Ali Campbell would be leaving the group after 30 years. It was originally stated that this was in order for Campbell to concentrate on solo projects, but Campbell later said he was leaving due to 'management difficulties'. The release of '24/7' is not affected and their final tour dates will be in February 2008 in Australia, New Zealand and Uganda. The remaining 7 members of the group will continue to record and perform. No decision on who will replace Ali Campbell has been made
