We’re excited to welcome Johnny2Bad to the Skegness Reggae & Ska Festival 2026, delivering their acclaimed UB40 Legacy Show alongside original music and high-octane live energy.
Hailing from Birmingham, UK, Johnny2Bad are an 8-piece reggae band celebrated for their electrifying performances of classic UB40 hits — now fully endorsed by Ali Campbell himself. Expect all the anthems, including Red Red Wine, Kingston Town, Cherry Oh Baby, One in Ten, Food for Thought, and many more — performed with a unique twist that keeps crowds dancing and singing from start to finish.
Renowned for their wow-factor stage presence, brass-driven sound, and interactive performances (often taking the party into the crowd), Johnny2Bad have sold out venues across the UK and Europe, headlined major tribute and reggae festivals, and supported reggae royalty including members of UB40, Jimmy Cliff, Third World, Morgan Heritage, Maxi Priest, and more.
