Two more days until Panorama 2026!

Here's a clip from last year's performance by the All Stars. Looking forward to more wild steelband action!

#Panorama2026

I’m going to host a watch party at my house. If you want to check it out live yourself, it costs about $4.50 in USD for the official livestream here:

Pan Trinbago Pay-Per-View – Trinidad and Tobago National Panorama

I’m always rooting for Phase II Pan Groove. They’re playing a tune called “Trouble” this year, in collaboration with Freetown Collective

Freetown Collective is a pretty great group! I saw them live (over Zoom) a few years back

The Renegades just opened their piece with a weird little skit where someone through a stuffed lizard at a school teacher that scurried across the stage

Now there’s a guy with a lizard mask walking around, leading the band - this is amazing

#Panorama2026

Haha there’s a giant lizard statue on top of one of the drum cages

And DRONE LIZARD CONSTELLATION in the sky!

Hell yeah, Starlift is playing a tune called “Last Train” and now there’s a colorful train moving on stage

I liked the opening dances too. Thanks for sharing the livestream link.
@shaulawalko Glad you could tune in! The audio quality doesn’t seem as good as previous years so I’ll be interested in hearing some of these songs after-the-fact
@swade
Me too. All the reruns I’ve seen had good sound.
