One Love has been a staple on Tauranga and New Zealand's summer festival calendar for many years and with a full house expected in 2023, this year is no different.
The two-day R18 event will be held at Tauranga Domain on January 28-29, bringing some legendary names in reggae to the Bay of Plenty for a massive celebration of reggae music.
The line-up for One Love 2023 includes UB40 Featuring Ali Campbell and L.A.B as the main headliners, along with Kolohe Kai; J Boog; Fij; Sean Kingston; Rebel Souljahz; Maoli; Katchafire; Stan Walker; Sons of Zion; Steel Pulse; House of Shem; Ardijah; 1814; Tomorrow People; Coterie; Three Houses Down; General Fiyah; Victor J Sefo; Stndrd; Lion Rezz; Brotherhood; Krisy Erin; Mikey Mayz; NLC; Common Unity; TJ & Huri.
Over the years, One Love has proven itself to be a major drawcard for reggae lovers from all around the world, selling tickets in countries such as Australia, Hawaii, America, France, Germany and the Pacific Islands. It has also helped pump millions of dollars into the local economy each year thanks to the jobs it creates and the spending of the estimated 20,000 people attending the event.
One Love promoter Glenn Meikle says reggae music is universal and brings people together, which is why One Love is such a popular festival in New Zealand.
'One Love has cemented itself as a weekend of good vibes and unity, making it a must-attend event for people from all backgrounds and all parts of the country and beyond,” he says.
'This year will be no different.
'Online VIP and Platinum VIP tickets have been sold out for a while now and we're expecting all remaining tickets to be snapped up any moment.”
Just like every One Love festival, Glenn says the 2023 event is going to be a fun-filled weekend packed with amazing local and international talent and should not be missed.
As of Monday night, tickets for One Love were limited. There were still some GA tickets left, and while hard copy VIP tickets could still be purchased from official ticket representatives and at Super Liquor at 107 Newton St, Mount Maunganui, there were only a small amount left.
