Each year the festival grows organically both in production, vision and in Reggae Fans and this years move is to sustain this growth for future years – but still keeping to the original vibe of a intimate fun and friendly event. It is 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 them year in year out alongside guest / touring artists that you grew up listening to side by side with up and coming exciting new acts.

More information will be here when available.
