Tickets sales lead One Love festival to move to a bigger venue

Reinforcing its reputation as one of the most popular reggae festivals in the Southern Hemisphere, One Love 2016 is moving to a larger venue to cater for outstanding ticket demand.

More than 15,000 people are expected at New Zealand’s largest reggae extravaganza, which stretches across Waitangi weekend on 6th and 7th February. To cater for the increasing demand, One Love will now be held at the Tauranga Domain in the Bay of Plenty– just 200 metres down the road from its original site Wharepai Domain.

The move means an extra 250 VIP tickets (previously sold out) are now available, along with extra GA passes. Presented by Pato Entertainment, One Love features some of the world’s biggest reggae stars, including Steel Pulse, Third World, Common Kings, local legends Herbs and Ardijah, as well as the highly-anticipated return of the much-loved Nesian Mystik.

2016 marks the fourth anniversary for the One Love festival, which has fast become New Zealand’s most trusted celebration of ‘roots, rock and reggae’.

Significantly, it kicks off on the birthday of the godfather of reggae, Bob Marley on 6th February.

Held in one of New Zealand’s top holiday destinations, Tauranga, the festival is close to the beach, with the festival camping available for 3,000 people at ASB Baypark Stadium.

The camping ticket includes chartered bus travel to and from the venue and also a complimentary breakfast to recharge the batteries on Sunday 7th February.

This year will also see One Love is giving back to the community, with $1 donated to One Love charitable partner - Homes Of Hope Charitable Trust – for every ticket sold.

Homes of Hope Charitable Trust provides an innovative response to children in need of care and protection due to neglect and/or abuse.
