The legendary Carnival Collective will be helping Brighton Pride celebrate its 25th anniversary this August.
Carnival Collective boasts 30+ musicians and delivers an irresistible tidal wave of energetic music. Once described as Brighton’s 21st Century Big Band, the Carnival Collective sound ranges from live drum & bass and jungle to reggae, cumbia, swing and funk. The Collective will be making its Brighton Pride Main Stage debut, delivering a vast battery of Brazilian drums and shaking the ground beneath a fat horn section and dirty bass lines, topped off with lush vocal harmonies.
After a successful year for the group, including the release of its LP Another Thing, performances at Glastonbury and Secret Garden Party and the celebration of its 20th birthday, 2015 looks set to be another exciting year of memorable Carnival Collective celebrations with Brighton Pride a real highlight.
Carnival Collective’s Tim Lincoln said: “We are wildly excited at the prospect of a show at Brighton Pride in its 25th and our 21st year! Pride is one of Brighton and Hove’s best-loved events and typifies the glorious flamboyance and inclusivity of our great city. Thank you so much for having us, we can’t wait!”
