30th Anniversary of Bob Marley 1978 One Love concert, A full moon solar eclipse weekend during the Perseid meteor shower.
Bob Marley and The Wailers performed at the One Love Peace concert in Kingston's National Arena with other main-line reggae artists of the day, in an attempt to link Jamaica's feuding political parties; Against all the odds, Marley symbolically joined the hands of bitter rivals Michael Manley and Edward Seaga on stage and unite them in handshake accompanied by a flash of lighting and clap of thunder from the heavens , following the concert, the opposing factions, having seen that their leaders weren't hell bent on killing each other, cooled down the conflict.
One Love is a festival like no other. Set deep within a woodland clearing, beneath the stunning Isaac Newton Observatory building at Herstmonceux Castle, East Sussex, music-lovers will gather to experience a one-of-a-kind experience.
This special happening will offer something for everyone, with 5 music areas, over 100 performing artists and visual DJs, playing a selection of Reggae, Dub, Chill-out, Funk and Electronic over three days.
Other enticing treats include the treetop boulevard market, healing area, belly dancing, morning yoga classes, interactive art trail, Maypole dancers and chill-out areas, Ethiopian coffee chill out area, as well as a mysterious, hidden sound systems dotted amongst the woodland. Food connoisseurs will sample delicacies from around the globe, while supping on real ale and organic cider, from one of the areas most well-known for its fabulous produce.
