ONE LOVE lives up to its reputation as one of summer’s finest
festivals with today’s second line-up announcement. It features Kiwi singing
sensation
Stan Walker,
the mighty
Kora,
Wellington’s famed Tomorrow
People,
Three Houses Down with NZ’s youngest reggae star
General Fiyah, and
‘must-see’ newcomers
Lomez Brown and Tyneegiant.
Presented by Pato
Entertainment, ONE
LOVE is a two-day celebration of music, which attracts 20,000
people from across New Zealand and from around the world. It will take place on
Auckland Anniversary weekend - January
27 and 28,2018, at
Tauranga Domain.
Today’s announcement completes a stellar bill for the 2018 extravaganza, which
includes some of the biggest names in roots, rock and reggae, from Shaggy, MAGIC!, J Boog, Common Kings and Black Uhuru.
See below for the full line-up. Without question one of New Zealand’s most-talented entertainers, Stan Walker is
guaranteed to be a popular drawcard at next year’s festival. Since winning
Australian Idol in 2009, Walkerhas gone onto make five critically-acclaimed studio albums. He’s released a
string of hits that have been blasted on radio, including his current single ‘New Takeover’, and
has appeared in films such as ‘Mt Zion’ and ‘Born To Dance’.
After a mindblowing performance at ONE
LOVE 2016, Korareturns to the fold, proving that they’re still one of Aotearoa’s most beloved
acts. Masterfully weaving funk, rock, reggae, metal and hip-hop, they’re a
force to be reckoned with and band you’ll never tiring of seeing live.
The same can be said of Wellington’s masters of reggae, Tomorrow People, who
have earned their reputation as one of the hardest working bands around by
constant touring throughout New Zealand, Australia, the Pacific and further
afield.
Taking the prize for the youngest artist on the line-up is the one and only General Fiyah. The
11-year-old took the world by storm last year when he wrote and fronted the
catchy Three Houses Downsmash hit ‘Love and
Affection’. The song’s video has since clocked more than 1.5
million views on You Tube. Three
Houses Down are also on the line-up and continue to be fan
favourites wherever they perform.
Rounding off today’s second line-up announcement are two exciting acts taking
the local reggae world by storm, Lomez
Brown and Tyneegiant. Both acts supported Tomorrow
People on their last tour and both are up-and-comers tipped as
must-sees at the 2018 festival.
Having sold out for the last two years in a row, ONE LOVE promoters are
urging festival-goers to get in early to secure tickets.
