Five new international acts and more than 20 Kiwi artists and bands have just been added to the already impressive line-up for One Love 2024.

This will bring the total number of One Love performers entertaining crowds at Tauranga Domain on January 27-28 to more than 50.

Also being introduced to next year’s reggae festival includes a second stage celebrating Kiwi music, a fresh musical genre for the festival and hours more of quality entertainment.

Among the new acts coming to One Love 2024 is Australian-based JKing, who has dominated airwaves and TikTok feeds with his hits such as ‘Unconditionally’, ‘Cinderella’, ‘Energy’ and ‘Falling in Love’.

British dancehall/afrobeats artist Stefflon Don also joins the line-up for 2024. She has featured on popular tracks ‘Bum Bum Tam Tam’, ‘Boasty’ and ‘Calypso’, worked with major artists including Ne-Yo, Skepta, Halsey, Big Sean, French Montana, Sean Paul and Idris Elba to name a few, and released her own hits such as ‘Hurtin’ Me’, ‘16 Shots’, ‘What’s Poppin’, ‘Can’t Let You Go’ and ‘Like that’.

Nigerian afrobeats singer songwriter Oxlade will also perform at One Love 2024. His tracks include ‘Intoxicated’ ft Dave; ‘Ku Lo Sa’ with Camila Cabello; ‘Dkt’, and ‘Want You’. Rounding out the added international acts are Hawaii’s Josh Tatofi and Australia’s Bradamon Band.

One Love Festival promoter Glenn Meikle says 2024 is the perfect time for a refresh of this much-loved event.

In 2014, One Love made its debut as a one-day festival in both Tauranga and Auckland before settling as a two-day event in Tauranga exclusively in 2015.

Since then it has become a staple on the summer festival calendar and has cemented itself as Aotearoa’s ultimate celebration of reggae music.

“After 10 years it’s the perfect time to refresh the iconic One Love Festival and we can’t wait to make a massive impact and return in a major way,” says Tim.

New Zealand acts just added are: General Fiyah, Stndrd, Fejoint, Swiss, Tree, Tawaz, Jackson Owens, Mikey Dam, Chase Woods, Wayno, Pieter T, Deach, Son and Water, Mikey Mayz, Krisy Erin, Origin Roots Aotearoa, Mezmure, Brutha Rodz, NLC, Papa’s Pack, Mirage and Hone.

The new acts will join the already announced line-up of international artists Sean Paul, UB40 ft Ali Campbell, Shaggy, Julian Marley, Fiji, J Boog, Third World, Common Kings, Maoli, Spawnbreezie, The Green, Pia Mia, Latasha Lee, Josh Wawa, Eli-Mac, and Sione Toki; and Kiwi musicians Sons of Zion, Sammy J, Nesian Mystik, House of Shem, 1814, Three Houses Down, Israel Starr, Corella and TJ & Huri.

Tim says adding a second stage provides an opportunity to include more artists at One Love and also showcase more up-and-coming Kiwi musicians to bigger crowds.

“We love New Zealand music and we know our One Love whānau appreciate homegrown talent. We want to do what we can to cater to both artists and fan.

“One Love tickets were selling well before we doubled the line-up so we’re expecting them to move even quicker now.”
