Xodus stages first 2024 Carnival lead-up event

Xodus Carnival is gearing up for the next event in its road to Carnival line-up.

On Saturday, the grounds of the National Stadium will be illuminated with neon lights as 'Campari Xodus Remedy Glow Edition: Mini Road March' gets under way. As a precursor to the 2024 Carnival season, the event will have soca lovers in a trance, as DJs Laing D, DJ Rico, ZJ Zess and Coppershot Music will be blasting all the favourite songs. The long-awaited event is the first Carnival lead-up event for Xodus, and the organisers promise to leave no stones unturned in ensuring patrons have a grand time.

"Campari Xodus Remedy is more than just a party, it is an experience that is never to be missed. I'm happy that our mini road march execution this year will build on the stellar showing we had last year. We want everyone to have a taste of what it's like to be on the road with Xodus, so we're pulling out all the stops," shared Pierre Goubault, CEO of Xodus Carnival. The event is 'Mas Couture'-themed, inspired by the Rave costume.

"All the fetes that we have on our calendar leading up to carnival day are what makes the Xodus experience so unique. Since our band launch, we have had an extremely positive response from masqueraders. We have already sold out one of our backpack options - X-large Victorian backpack - and we have costumes looking to be sold out in short order. This is a definite testament to how we show up and cater for our masqueraders," added Goubault.

The event's proceedings will commence at 8 p.m., consisting of a party segment, and will transition into the road march segment at 11 p.m.
