One Love / One Sun Festival has released its official 2026 aftermovie, looking back at its August weekend at Bentley Estate, near Lewes, East Sussex. The independent reggae, dub and electronic festival has also confirmed it returns on 20–22 August 2027, with Early Bird weekend tickets on sale at £115 including camping.
Watch the One Love / One Sun 2026 aftermovie
The film is live now on the festival's Instagram: watch the official One Love / One Sun 2026 aftermovie. It goes well beyond the stages, taking in the campsite, the Caribbean food, the independent traders and the cultural spaces scattered around the estate.
It also marks a big year for the festival. Getting One Love back on its feet meant building a new musical identity and reconnecting with artists, crews, traders and loyal supporters, and the aftermovie is as much a thank-you to that effort as it is a highlights reel.
What happened at One Love / One Sun 2026?
Founded in 2008 by independent promoter Dan Wiltshire, One Love has spent nearly two decades championing reggae, dub, Rastafari heritage and British sound-system culture. The 2026 edition added something new: One Sun, a woodland electronic programme running alongside the main event.
One Love: roots, dub and sound systems
The One Love side stayed true to its roots, with live reggae and traditional sound systems. The 2026 bill featured Luciano, Admiral Tibet, Little Roy, Saxon Sound System, University of Dub and Jah Tubbys.
One Sun: into the woods
Out among the trees, One Sun moved through ambient, leftfield electronics, acid, techno, jungle and drum & bass. The 2026 woodland line-up included A Guy Called Gerald, Ray Keith, The Grid, Jagz Kooner, Mixmaster Morris and Chris Coco.
The pairing makes a lot of sense. Jamaican sound-system culture and British underground electronic music share plenty of DNA, and One Love / One Sun lets you walk from one to the other in a few minutes.
What the founder says
"Bringing One Love back meant rebuilding so much from the ground up, but we had a vision of what we wanted to create at Bentley Estate. Seeing it come together was incredibly special," said founder Dan Wiltshire.
"The aftermovie captures something you can't explain with a poster — the atmosphere, the people, the music and that feeling of walking from one world into another."
When is One Love / One Sun 2027?
One Love / One Sun 2027 takes place on 20–22 August 2027 at Bentley Estate, near Lewes, East Sussex. The headline news so far is The Sabres of Paradise, who will play a special Friday-night woodland club show.
Also confirmed are Aba Shanti-I, Saxon Sound System, The Cimarons, Coxsone Sound System, Jumpin Jack Frost, Ray Keith and Mixmaster Morris, with more acts to be announced.
Organisers say they will keep improving the camping, cultural, wellbeing, food and transport side of the weekend while holding on to the festival's independent, limited-capacity feel.
