The much-loved One Love Festival is set to return to Tauranga next year.

One Love Festival will be held in its long-standing home at Tauranga Domain across Waitangi Weekend, February 6 and 7.

'One Love is all about bringing people together, it's a celebration of people, happiness and music,” says One Love Director Pato Alverez.

'Once again we will deliver a star-studded line-up with the very best New Zealand music talent, plus some international acts that have agreed to quarantine when they get to New Zealand. It's going to be huge.”

This year One Love brought 26 acts to Tauranga Domain including Ardijah, Katchafire, Nesian Mystik, Shaggy, L.A.B. and Jamaica's Sean Paul.

Each year One Love sells out to a crowd of 20,000 from across Aotearoa and around the globe.

'We already have thousands of people messaging us for dates and tickets for next year's festival. The hype is real,” says Pato.

'One Love sells out every year, this is one you don't want to miss.”

This year One Love was nominated for Best Music and Entertainment Event by the New Zealand Events Association. The winner will be announced later this year.
