When it comes to Carnival in Jamaica, no other band delivers an experience quite like Xodus. For 2026, they’re turning things all the way up as almost the entire Caribbean is represented.
With an electrifying lineup of events with local and international talents, and a premium on-the-road experience, Xodus is setting the tone for what promises to be one of the most unforgettable Carnival seasons yet.
Taylor Chung, Senior Relationship Officer, Xodus Carnival says Xodus kicks off Carnival Week earlier than usual this year with the return of the Xodus Wet Music Festival on Monday, April 6.
The excitement continues on Wednesday, April 8 with Fete Gala, a sophisticated yet high-energy event featuring international DJs from across the Caribbean and diaspora, including Selector Kerry, Major Penny, Lerbz, and Jus Jay King, alongside returning favourites Sinistar and Tony X.
With talent from Trinidad, Barbados, Antigua, Toronto, and beyond, this event is a true celebration of Caribbean unity. The energy will touch higher heights with a performance from V’ghn, bringing his signature Grenadian flair to the Xodus stage.
By Saturday, the anticipation will reach its peak with Xodus Remedy which is the ultimate pre-road experience. This signature event brings together the full DJ lineup from throughout the week, creating a massive musical showdown of vibes and energy. Closing out the night is none other than soca heavy weight Skinny Fabulous from Saint Vincent and the Grenadines who will set the perfect tone heading into Road March Day.
When Carnival Sunday hits, Xodus takes the celebration to the streets with a fully immersive, all-day experience.
Revellers can expect non-stop entertainment from 9:00 AM to 7:30 PM, three major live performances from Voice, V’ghn, and Skinny Fabulous, top-tier DJs from across the Caribbean and diaspora, premium food, Campari mixes being poured all day long and breakfast, lunch, and dinner hosted at Devon House.
But with Xodus, it doesn’t stop at music and food as it’s a full lifestyle experience.
From early morning glam touch-ups and photo ops to on-the-road luxury, revellers will have access to massage stations, physiotherapists, dancers, and even high-energy motorcycle stunt shows ensuring maximum entertainment while experiencing moments of comfort.
Carnival in Jamaica is a movement, which brings together revellers from all across the world to celebrate music and freedom in the spirit of Carnival.
