We finally sat down for our Trinidad Carnival recap and this episode is a full breakdown of the season.

Supertrini Vibes gives the lowdown on his month in Trinidad, covering everything from the road experience to the fetes, the food, Tobago and all the moments that made Carnival 2026 what it was.

We also get into:

Our collaboration with Vibez On Tour and the weekender they’ll be hosting in September

60 years of Notting Hill Carnival and what that milestone means

Whether masquerade bands should launch without confirmed passes for Notting Hill Carnival

If private sections should announce which band they are with before launching

Road March in Trinidad - who really decides, and should it be left up to the masquerader?

This is a proper mix of recap, insight, and real discussion on where Carnival is now and where it’s heading.

Tap in and join the conversation.
