UB40 Perth 2027

UB40 Perth 2027: date, venue and tour

UB40 is confirmed for Monday 17 May 2027 at Ice Cream Factory. The show is part of The Unstoppable Tour, and the full list of Perth dates we hold for it reads: Monday 17 May 2027.

Support: Soul II Soul. On sale since Thursday 13 August 2026.

It is one of the Concert dates already locked into the Perth 2027 calendar, so the usual question of whether the tour reaches the west is settled. For a city that is regularly left off national itineraries, that alone is worth noting: Western Australian fans do not have to price up flights to Adelaide or Melbourne this time, and anyone in the regions can plan a trip to the city around a fixed date.

This page sticks to what has been published. We list the date, the venue and the ticketing details as announced, flag anything that is still provisional, and change the page when the promoter changes something — a new night, a venue upgrade, a revised start time. We never add support acts, set times or prices that have not been released.

If you have not bought yet, the alert below is the simplest way to stay on top of it. It tells you when presale codes circulate, when general sale opens in WA time and whether further seats or extra dates are added once the first allocation has gone. If the show moves or is postponed, you will hear about it from us on the same day.

About the venue for UB40 Perth 2027

UB40 plays Ice Cream Factory, one of the rooms Perth relies on for Concert tours. Knowing the venue before you buy is useful here, because the city’s major sites differ a lot: a stadium bowl in Burswood, an arena with a retractable roof on Wellington Street, art-deco and modern theatres in Mount Lawley, Subiaco and the CBD, compact clubs in Northbridge, and outdoor spaces in Fremantle and on the riverfront.

Check the seating map on the official ticketing page rather than relying on general descriptions. Arena and theatre plans change from tour to tour depending on where the stage sits and whether the floor is standing or seated, and some outdoor events in Perth are general admission across the whole site.

The Ice Cream Factory is on Roe Street, Northbridge, a short walk west from Perth station and Perth Underground and a similar distance from the Perth Busport. That puts it within easy reach of every train line, and the walk from the station is well lit and busy at night. Northbridge’s paid car parks are an option, but they fill quickly on summer weekends when the venue and the surrounding bars are busy. The CBD is a few minutes away on foot for late-night food or an onward taxi rank.

Venue conditions — bag sizes, re-entry, age limits, accessible seating and Companion Card bookings — are set by Ice Cream Factory and the promoter for each event. They are listed with the ticket and are worth reading before the day, especially for outdoor summer shows where sunscreen and water rules can differ from indoor ones. If in doubt, contact the venue before the day rather than at the gate.

Buying tickets for UB40 Perth 2027

Tickets for UB40 in Perth are sold through the official ticketing company named for Ice Cream Factory, usually Ticketek or Ticketmaster for major venues in the city and smaller agencies such as Oztix, Moshtix or DICE for some club and outdoor shows. Buy there, not on a marketplace that happens to rank first in a search.

Australian presales follow a familiar order: the artist’s own list, then promoter lists such as My Live Nation or Frontier Touring members, then card and telco programmes like Amex, Telstra Plus or Optus Perks, and finally general sale. Each window has its own start time, and that time is often given in eastern time. In Western Australia, with no daylight saving, that means subtracting two hours in winter and three in summer.

If the show is already on sale, it is still worth watching. Promoters regularly release more seats once the stage layout is final, and Perth often receives a second allocation of floor or side-view tickets closer to the date.

Western Australia has anti-scalping laws that cap resale prices, so a listing far above face value is a warning sign. The alert below sends releases and changes for UB40 at Ice Cream Factory with links to the official seller only.

Ticket prices for UB40 Perth 2027

The official price list for UB40 at Ice Cream Factory is the one shown by the ticketing company, and it can change during the sale if dynamic pricing is used. As a guide, comparable Concert shows in Australia have been priced roughly as follows, in Australian dollars before fees:

• Cheapest reserved or restricted-view seats: about A$79–A$119.
• General admission or mid-range seats: about A$119–A$169.
• Premium reserved seats: about A$169–A$219.
• VIP and hospitality packages: about A$219–A$279 or more.

Smaller venues usually have fewer tiers, which narrows the spread towards A$79–A$149; stadium and large outdoor events stretch it in both directions.

Booking fees, payment surcharges and delivery charges are added at checkout and are not included above. Ticket insurance is optional. If you see prices well above these ranges on a site that is not the official seller, you are probably looking at resale.

When the official prices for UB40 change or new price levels are released, we send it to the alert list. If you are buying for a group, check the per-order ticket limit before the sale: it is usually set per account and enforced across presale and general sale.

Planning your night at UB40 in Perth

Getting to Ice Cream Factory is straightforward if you lean on public transport.

The Ice Cream Factory is on Roe Street, Northbridge, a short walk west from Perth station and Perth Underground and a similar distance from the Perth Busport. That puts it within easy reach of every train line, and the walk from the station is well lit and busy at night. Northbridge’s paid car parks are an option, but they fill quickly on summer weekends when the venue and the surrounding bars are busy. The CBD is a few minutes away on foot for late-night food or an onward taxi rank.

Transperth’s SmartRider works across trains, buses and ferries, and every suburban rail line feeds into either Perth station or Perth Underground, a few minutes’ walk apart. Allow extra time after major events: the platforms at Perth Stadium, Perth and Perth Underground are managed with queues at busy finishes.

Weather matters in a Perth year. Summer shows can follow 35-degree-plus days, and outdoor gates often open in daylight; take a hat and water where allowed and expect the evening to cool once the sea breeze arrives. Autumn is the most comfortable season for outdoor gigs; winter means rain jackets rather than cold.

For dinner beforehand, Northbridge and the Perth CBD suit RAC Arena, the Riverside and Metro City; Beaufort Street is the obvious choice before the Astor; Fremantle’s cafe strip and the Fishing Boat Harbour area work for shows in the port. Book ahead on big nights.

Any change of start time for UB40 goes out on the alert, together with transport updates for the night.

Making the most of UB40 Perth

UB40 brings The Unstoppable Tour to Ice Cream Factory — dates on record: Monday 17 May 2027. Latin tours rarely cross the Nullarbor, so when one does, the Perth date becomes a meeting point for the city’s Latin American communities.

Practically, the night will run on the venue’s timetable: doors, one or more supports, then the headline set, with an end time that is usually published closer to the show. Merchandise stands open with the doors and queues are shortest in the first half-hour or during the support set.

If you are deciding whether to go, consider how often Reggae acts of this standing come west. Many tours do one Perth night or none, and the next chance may be years away. If the show is sold out, keep the alert active: returned and re-released seats are common, and we send them the moment they appear. Buying through the official resale service keeps you within the rules and protects you against invalid tickets.
