MAS BANDS

Mon 28 Aug 2023

With Notting Hill Carnival just a few weeks away, we bring you a list of bands. As comprehensive as we could make it, these are the official bands and sections who will take to the streets of (hopefully sunny) West London to display their costumes this August Bank Holiday.

As always, we advise that you join a band and 'play ah mas'; there's nothing like it. So, we hope you won’t just spectate, but also aim to participate in this year's Notting Hill Carnival, on Sunday 27 and Monday 28 August. Adults can choose to take part on either the Sunday, in dirty (‘dutty’) mas, which ranges from paint or powder, to mud, chocolate or oil, or on the Monday, donning a pretty costume. Or, if you’re up to it, participate on both days.

We realise that some of the costumes on display might not be to your taste or cut, but there’s something out there for everyone if you look hard enough. They come in a rainbow of colours, from a smorgasbord of mas bands.

Find our listing of the bands and their 2023 themes at socanews.com/masbands. The page is being updated all the time, so check it out or sign up to our newsletter for updates.
