Trinidad Carnival 2026 is around the corner! If you’ll be playing mas and want to get familiar with the soca songs you’ll be hearing at de fetes and on de road, we’ve got you covered! And if you’re not playing mas, but still want to know the newest songs to add to your playlist for your at home dance parties (we see you!), or to keep you motivated during your workouts…we’ve got you covered too!
Here are a couple of our fave 2026 soca mixes and our Trinidad Carnival 2026 playlist on Soundcloud. These mixes are great for building the energy before you touch down for your next Carnival, whether it’s in Trinidad or not. Enjoy!
#1: Soca Switch 2026 | Trinidad Carnival Soca 2026 Mix by DJ Jel
DJ Jel is one of our fave soca DJs, and he gets our 2026 Carnival season started off on the right foot with this mix. He does an amazing job of including the really popular soca songs for the year; he has his fingers on de pulse! And, added bonus: he also lists the track names and artists in the video description box (so you can add your favorite songs to your own playlist!)
#2: DJ Private Ryan Presents Soca Starter 2026 (Lost in Trinbago)
DJ Private Ryan is another one of our favorite DJs. He also has a pulse on the songs that will be standouts for the carnival season. Track names and artists are also listed in the video description box.
#3: Ultimate Trinidad Carnival 2026 playlist
Every year our Ambassador, Grace, creates a playlist for Trinidad Carnival. As one of the Ambassadors of our Caribbean Carnival travel experiences, she makes it her personal mission that everyone gets familiar with the new soca music. And this year is no exception. Her playlist is on Soundcloud, so you’ll have easy access.
This is what we mean when we say “buy your flight, pack and show up…we’ll handle the rest!” Our incredible Ambassadors not only provide on the ground support as soon as you arrive at the destination, but we’re also providing you with extra perks like this soca playlist and our Carnival Survival Kit before you even arrive!
