Fans young and old reunited for unforgetable live performances by UB40, as they sang and danced along to their all-time favourite hits.

The Val De Vie Estate in Paarl kicked off with an energetic performance by pop reggae act, Trenton and Free Radical, followed by a highly entertaining show put on by local favourite, Hot Water. Special guests, Mango Groove, proved their unmatched talent as Claire Johnston performed her classic hits while the 6000 strong audience echoed their songs throughout the venue. To the crowd’s surprise a very nervous young man, Jaco Swanepoel, took to the stage for what seemed to be to collect a prize for tweeting throughout the day. On meeting the MC, he took the microphone and requested his girlfriend please come to the stage as he wanted to ask her a question. She arrived on stage, the crowd waiting in anticipation, to be asked, "Will you marry me?". An unforgettable moment for a newly engaged couple.

After the sun had set finally the moment arrived, UB40 featuring Ali Campbell along with fellow founding members, Astro and Mickey Virtue took to the stage with the crowd in full cheer. The band performed their top songs ensuring fans relived the UB40 tunes they have always loved.

The mix of the venue, nostalgic music and great vibes ensured the celebrations in Paarl reached a new level as UB40 proved why they remain one of the top music acts in the world. Heart 104.9FM’s Drive 326 with Suga, Keri and Nick brought the action straight to their listeners with a live broadcast from the venue, including an interview with the band, Trenton and Free Radical.

Over 10 000 fans flooded into Emmarentia Dam, now a favourite venue for outdoor concerts, to see UB40 live. Kaya FM 95.9’s Bob Mabena was host to the jovial fans. Kaya FM kept their listeners up to speed at the concert with live social media updates and crossings to the studio throughout the day. MTN’s Commercial Radio Station of the year 2013 ensured nobody felt left out from enjoying the concert.

Michael Lowman successfully opened the stage with his catchy hit songs, followed by the always popular Afro-eclectic Freshlyground who captivated audience’s from their first note with tracks like, Doo Be Doo, I’d Like and Pot Belly. Not to let Johannesburg down, Mango Groove wowed the local audience before UB40 took to the stage. Red Red Wine, Kingston Town and I Got You Babe, the definite favourites, had the fans on their feet throughout the unforgettable performance.

One area that couldn’t be missed was the DStv activation. Using its tagline “We grew up together”, DStv immersed concert-goers in a huge 80s time capsule complete with retro rollerskates, vintage TV’s, vinyls and other loved memorabilia.

GWM were also on hand to showcase their brand new H6 to the music fans. It’s easy to unlock beautiful scenic escapes with the GWM H6 2,0 TCI or GWM H6 1,5T SUV. Apart from refined design, ample standard features and spaciousness, the GWM H6 boasts a tough 105 kW diesel or petrol engine and 6-speed manual transmission.
