This year, celebrating its 15th anniversary, One Love takes place from Thursday 10th August until Sunday 13th August 2023 at a new home, Highden Estate, Washington near Worthing, West Sussex, surrounded by the rolling South Down Hills.

The theme of the event is “Back to Africa” and dub legend, Mad Professor brings his famous Gambian Festival “Back to Africa” to One Love Festival this year. In celebration of Rastarianism, IQulah Rastafari and the Gideon Family will be co-curators in the Rasta Village.

One Love also revive their Battle of the Dubplates, last hosted 5 years ago in 2018. This is a rare Gathering of UK Foundation Sounds from the ‘60s, ‘70s, and ‘80s representing London, Birmingham, Manchester, Leicester, Bristol, and Derby - and it is the audience who decides who is going to take home the Championship Cup 2023. The winner from each day goes into the final day for a chance to become Champion Sound 2023.

One Love 2023 incorporates many new creative and artistic contributors, and areas such as the Om and Bass area (hosted by Om and Bass festival) - an extensive healing and holistic therapies area of relaxation and a total alcohol-free and vegan space. A tree will be planted for every attendee.

This year One Love also reintroduce the Daily Shuttle “Reggae Bus” from Worthing Train Station to the very heart of the Festival and safely back again throughout each day of the entire weekend as a part of their carbon offsetting program.
