Get into the Carnival mood with our latest playlist

Curated by the CDR team, our multi-genre carnival playlist is important pre Bank Holiday listening.

The largest street party in the world, Notting Hill Carnival takes place across every late August Bank Holiday weekend as a celebration of Caribbean and West Indian music and culture.

2023 marks the 75th anniversary of the first arrivals of the Windrush Generation with this years edition of Notting Hill Carnival set to the biggest ever. With steel band competitions taking place on the Friday, the family day on the Saturday and then Sunday were it all lets loose, rain or shine, millions take to the street.

Whether you're prepping your outfit and need tracks for the journey down, our playlist is sure to be the soundtrack to your shenanigans.
