Johnny2Bad (J2B) are Birmingham's award-winning, eight-piece tribute to reggae legends UB40, endorsed by Ali Campbell himself and famed for their electrifying, crowd-immersive live shows.
Johnny2Bad, also known as J2B, are an eight-piece tribute band from Birmingham dedicated to the music of UK reggae legends UB40. The band's shows have been endorsed by Ali Campbell himself, a mark of authenticity that sets them apart in the tribute circuit. Performing across the UK and Europe, J2B bring high-energy renditions of classics including "Here I Am", "Homely Girl", "Kingston Town", "Baby Come Back", "Can't Help Falling in Love", "Red Red Wine", "Cherry Oh Baby", "One in Ten" and "Food for Thought" to life with a distinctive twist all their own.
What makes a Johnny2Bad show stand out is the sheer immersion: the brass section and lead vocalist head straight out into the crowd, turning every performance into a shared celebration that has audiences up dancing and singing from start to finish. Alongside their tribute sets, the band have begun releasing original material, with more on the way, and have collaborated with Freddie McGregor tribute act Big Ship Alliance. With their trademark wow factor and infectious energy, Johnny2Bad deliver a night that captures the spirit of UB40 while carving out their own identity.
