This will mark the 2^nd edition of the festival as it launched in 2025 as the first ever music festival to take place in Antigua and Barbuda. The festival will be featuring international and local artists across two nights of music.

The festival showcases a range of musical styles, with the 2025 event featuring a mix of Soca, reggae, dancehall, soft rock, and bouyon on one night and a dedicated gospel music night. The festival has attracted prominent headliners. The 2025 event included Barrington Levy and Shenseea on the mainstream night, and Pastor Donnie McClurkin and Pastor Tim Godfrey on the gospel night.

A key focus of the festival is also to showcase local and regional talent, with Antiguan artists and choirs performing alongside international acts. The festival was described as "bigger, bolder, and rebranded" for 2026.

The government officials are expecting to welcome a number of visitors for the One Nation Music Festival which they expect will provide a major boost to the overall tourism sector and the economy as a whole.
