Rum 'n' Bass Carnival on the Thames
5TH ANNIVERSARY SPECTACULAR!
Summer is calling, and with it comes
the most anticipated floating celebration on the River Thames! For
five legendary years, Rum 'N' Bass has kicked off Notting Hill
Carnival weekend in unforgettable style - and our 2025 anniversary
edition promises to be our most extraordinary yet.
COLOURS vs. STRIPES: BE BOLD, BE SEEN!
This year, we're challenging you to showcase your Caribbean pride with our COLOURS Vs. STRIPES theme!
Rep your island's flag, rock your brightest hues, and embrace those stripes in ways that turn heads across all three decks. Dare to stand out - the more vibrant, the better!
THE EXPERIENCE
Imagine yourself sailing the scenic Thames while three decks pulse with the ultimate Caribbean soundscape:
- Soca that makes your waist move automatically
- Dancehall that keeps you energised all night
- Afrobeats, Garage, Hip Hop, and R&B blended seamlessly by the UK and Caribbean’s finest selectors.
All this
while you sip premium rum cocktails, surrounded by 350 beautiful
people united by our mantra:
'No Separation, No Drama, No Behaviour'
- Just pure vibes and cultural celebration!
