At Beloved Festival , all attendees are one. That's thanks to the Tidewater, Oregon, festival's one stage, which unites festival-goers in a shared journey to self-realization and connectedness through sacred music.

This year Beloved celebrates ten years of its unique offering of sacred music. It is something to behold, and showcases a curated progression of sounds and vibes throughout each of the four days. Sacred music includes a broad spectrum of ancient, contemporary and futuristic sounds, all connected in their abilities to incite deep joy and reverence. Festies experience an aural story through the music of eclectic peoples, places, and points in time; a Beloved attendee can easily expect to hear mystic Middle Eastern chants followed by heavy bass dance music. Matched with the festival's lush Pacific Northwest woods and soothing coastal air, and the entire musical experience is unlike other at any West Coast festival.

This year you'll find the likes of Amadou & Mariam, Random Rab , the Yemeni harmonies of A-Wa, reggae legends The Abyssinians, Tuvan throat singing legends Huun-Huur-Tu, and underground favorites like House of Waters on Beloved's bill. There will also be Latin-inspired dance music from Nickodemus and Captain Planet, as well as world music from Amjad Ali Khan and Khun Narin's psychedelic music from Thailand. As always, Beloved's music runs an awe-inspiring gamut of genres from all over the globe. Find the rest of the lineup below.

Having multiple stages at an event with a vibe change just a short walk away and the opportunity to see more of your favorite artists is never a bad thing, but the One Stage at Beloved sets a particular mood. For one, there aren’t competing sounds from different stages to overwhelm or distract you. Second, and most important, when festival-goers want to jam out, they are all doing so in the same place to the same groove, which creates a powerful, unifying force.

Apart from the music, Beloved offers plenty of live art, speakers and yoga workshops. The festival takes place August 11-14, 2017. Grab tickets here.
