MUSIC: ON \| OFF

30th Anniversary One Love
Peace Concert 1978

A full moon lunar eclipse weekend
during the Perseid meteor shower.

The UK’s first festival to celebrate the 30th anniversary of one of the world’s greatest ever rock gigs. One Love, a magical, three-night music festival, in recognition of Bob Marley’s famous 1978 One Love concert.

One Love is a festival like no other. Set deep within a woodland clearing, beneath the stunning Isaac Newton Observatory building at Herstmonceux Castle, East Sussex, music-lovers will gather to experience a one-of-a-kind experience. This special happening will offer something for everyone, with over 100 performing artists and visual DJs, playing a selection of Reggae, Dub, Chill-out, Funk and Electronic over three days. Other enticing treats include the treetop boulevard market, healing area, interactive art trail, Maypole dancers, belly dancers, Mbira workshops, ethiopian coffee, and chill-out areas, as well as a mysterious, hidden sound system dotted amongst the woodland. Food connoisseurs will sample delicacies from around the globe, while supping on real ale and organic cider, from one of the areas most well-known for its fabulous produce.

If that’s not enough, the setting for this festival was once home to a renowned space observatory site where the Royal Greenwich Observatory placed the Isaac Newton Telescope and one of the very best sites in the country for star gazing. One Love has been planned to celebrate a full-moon lunar eclipse weekend, whilst the famous Perseid meteor shower* takes place, offering an extravaganza of activity, the likes of which are seldom seen. As night falls, the audience will be treated to some of the most spectacular lunar activity of the year as they settle into the extraordinary nearby campsite. Video projections will light up the trees, including a special offering of Bob Marley images which will be projected onto the Observatory building, offering visitors something truly memorable and adding to the uniqueness of the One Love festival.

One Love organisers, commented: “One Love is set to be one of the most diverse and unique festivals in the country, full of drama and intrigue. We’ve chosen an incredible site and have a plethora of entertainment and special features to unveil, so there really is a host of fascination and charm for all of our guests. The addition of the lunar activity over the weekend makes it a truly cosmic festival - there are some really special acts to be announced soon and I have no doubt that One Love should truly not be missed.”

“One Love is set
to be one of the most diverse and unique festivals in the country, full of
