Engines revved and vibes took over as Campari Xodus Carnival presented TAILGATE— the ultimate soca vs dancehall party from your ride. 

On April 9, the National Stadium transformed into true tailgate style as patrons rolled in with cars, trucks, vans and on foot turning the venue into a high-energy playground where music, culture, and pure carnival spirit collided.

With music powered by Jus Travis World, Tony X, Zess, Selectah Kerry, Major Penny, Lurbz, Jus Jay, Fatalic and Quest, the energy never dipped. Grenadian soca star V’ghn lit up the stage with an electrifying live performance which was the major highlight of the night that had soca fans chanting his songs word for word.

Backed by Campari—the leading force in entertainment and carnival—alongside Wray & Nephew, the Rumpari flowed freely all night, keeping patrons refreshed and fully locked into the vibes.

From V’ghn’s fiery set to an all-star DJ lineup, Tailgate delivered the ultimate Soca vs. Dancehall showdown, proving that when the road meets the ride, the party hits a whole different vibe.
