About One Love Festival One Love was started in 2007 in celebration of the 30th anniversary of the One Love Peace Concert in Jamaica in 1978. Bob Marley, through creating and hosting a musical event, was instrumental in uniting two rival political factions and bringing an end to the civil war in Jamaica.
One Love 2022 marks a radical rethink of the events’ traditional musical offering. The intent is to move away from exclusively Jamaican-based music and towards a much wider sound, including rock, soul, and all forms of dance music. It will also celebrate local diversity and ingenuity in music and art and will provide a place where families can enjoy a few simple days out with like-minded people, great live and pre-recorded music, a fun and easy atmosphere and a celebration of diversity.
