One Love Festival are very excited to be partnering up with the amazing Dreamland and it’s fantastic team – Margate Dreamland is an exciting venue located in a destination with a very grand history; a place that has created thousands of childhood memories and happy experiences for generations through it’s seaside adventure park. Now with their huge development and transformation into a multi purpose adventure park and music venues, we at One Love Festival, the UK’s No1 Reggae and Ska Festival intend to carry this tradition forward to a new generation, creating happy Reggae and Dub memories by showcasing the world’s biggest live acts and musicians of the genre mixed in with our One Love Festival magic and vibes. These string of showcase events throughout the summer of 2018 are going to build us gently towards our ultimate goal of hosting a full on One Love Festival camping and weekend extravaganza music festival in June 2019 alongside our main annual event in September in Somerset. This is going to firmly ensure the entire country can experience Reggae, Dub, Ska and all of the sub genres through our One Love Events.
