ITS ALL ABOUT ONE LOVE FESTIVAL – Created in 2008 as UK’s 30th anniversary of Bob Marley’s famous concert of the same name. One Love Festival is now 5 years old and The UK’s No1 Reggae and Dub camping event.
Throughout the last 5yrs we had some amazing One Love Festival Highlights and they keep on getting better and better. The festival means such a lot to so many people in such different ways – everyone leaves the event experiencing their own exceptional One Love Festival moment and memory. We have established a wonderful growing customer base of Fun, Loving, Happy and loyal Reggae and Dub Fans from all over Europe and beyond. Each year the festival grows organically both in production and vision – but still keeping to the original vibe of a intimate fun and friendly event. We have now established a platform on the Reggae and Dub artist touring circuit and when you attend One Love Festival you see familiar faces from resident artists that support us year in year out alongside touring artists that you grew up listening to side by side with up and coming exciting new acts. All paying homage to our philosophy of One Love and to foundation Reggae Music – Playing Conscience Roots, Dub Music and enjoying all the sub genres of that. One Love = a unity and bond between the brother man and women. A common purpose regardless of religion, race or creed – “PEACE and LOVE” to all of mankind. When you experience One Love it is something to be remembered forever……

Bringing Reggae and the Message of Bob Marley to the People -
One Love, One Heart a World Without Boarders
One Love peace Concert 1978 – background
Bob Marley and The Wailers performed at the One Love Peace concert in Kingston’s National Arena with other main-line reggae artists of the day, in an attempt to link Jamaica’s feuding political parties;
Against all the odds, Marley symbolically joined the hands of bitter rivals Michael Manley and Edward Seaga on stage and unite them in handshake accompanied by a flash of lighting and clap of thunder from the heavens, following the concert, the opposing factions, having seen that their leaders weren’t hell bent on killing each other, cooled down the conflict.
