The energy was high, coolers were packed, and camouflage came out in full force as Soca Boot Camp deployed a night of pure vibes this past Good Friday, April 18. Held at The Camp Base, Park Place in New Kingston, the high-octane event officially kicked off Carnival in Jamaica 2025, transforming the venue into a Soca battlefield.

Sponsored by Smirnoff, KFC, and Kiss Baking, partygoers showed out in camo gear and Monday wear - a bold style statement that created an explosive fusion of fashion.

The DJ lineup kept the energy at a peak, with Matt Camps, DJ Jel, Travis World, Fatalic, ZJ Sparks, Jamdonn, Aaron Fingal, and ZJ Spectre delivering nonstop heat and bringing Soca to the frontline. Here are the highlights.
