Six60 and Julian Marley and the Uprising Will Headline Good Love's 2023 Waterside Reggae Festival
Come February, you can catch New Zealand's history-making chart-toppers and Bob Marley's son at Australia’s biggest reggae festival.
It's been two years since New Zealand's huge One Love Festival made its Australian debut, bringing a day-long reggae festival not only across the ditch, but to the Gold Coast's scenic waterside surroundings. Rebadged Good Love for its second Australian event in 2022, it keeps proving a hit, selling out both shows so far. Based on the just-announced 2023 headliners, expect the same to happen next year as well.
Given the fest's origins, it's fitting that New Zealand's history-making chart-toppers Six60 lead the lineup — fresh from breaking the record held by Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon on the NZ album charts last year.
Joining them is another huge name, especially given Good Love's chosen genre. Where can you see Bob Marley's son play Australia's biggest reggae festival? Here, with Julian Marley and the Uprising also topping the bill.
So far, Coterie, DMP and Bradamon are also on the roster, with more acts to be announced for the Saturday, February 4 event. Exactly where on the Gold Coast the fest will take place also hasn't been revealed, so there's plenty more information to come.
The day of Jamaican-influenced tunes popped up at Southport's Broadwater Parklands in 2020, and Doug Jennings Park at The Spit in 2022.
Wherever Good Love is headed in 2023, clearing your diary, grabbing your sneakers and preparing to spend some time dancing to reggae by the water should definitely be on your summer agenda. Its counterpart is quite the big deal across the ditch, attracting more than 20,000 festival-goers each year for a decade before the pandemic.
Planning to attend next year's Gold Coast fest? Expect to have more than 14,000 fellow music fans for company.
