Carnival on the Thames
Bright Colours Edition
There used to be only two things that were for certain when it came to the UK in the Summer;
1) Anything more than two weeks of glorious sunshine is a true blessing which should be cherished, and
2) Regardless of the weather, close to 3 million people will line the streets of London for Notting Hill Carnival to celebrate Caribbean culture, traditions and influence.
There’s now a third thing to add to this list: the Rum ‘N’ Bass Pre Carnival Boat Party!
2023 marks our 3rd pre-Notting Hill Carnival party on the scenic River Thames – and this year is set to be even bigger and better than ever before.
Rum ‘N’ Bass is inviting Every-Body with a love for Caribbean culture to jump on board for the Bright Colours Edition!
We want you to wear your brightest colours, bring your flags and join us in embodying our mantra – ‘No separation, No Drama, No Behaviour’ to free-up yourself for an epic celebration of Caribbean culture, the Rum ‘N’ Bass way.
With an array of the best DJs in the UK representing the Caribbean and beyond, spinning across 3 decks of music playing all the sounds you know and love us for; from Soca to Garage, Dancehall to Hip Hop, Afro-beats to RnB and everything in between:
DJ Ace (BBC 1Xtra)
DJ Pharaoh G & Kash Jones (BBC 1xtra)
Big Man Zest (Jump in the Middle and Skank, Matt’s BBQ)
Flagz (The UK’s biggest Carnival Sound)
DJ Daiky – Straight outta Japan (Japan Soca Weekender)
The legendary DJ CLK (MTV Base, ThatThing)
DJ Fearney (Rock The Belles, Supa Dupa Fly)
Jess Bee (Rotterdam Reggae Festival, Shabba Party)
Special musical guests; J Lucia (The Rap Game UK) and Jodian Natty
