The Notting Hill Carnival has arrived!
As usual Nigeria Corner will continue to take its spot at the event, but Wizkid has only recently been confirmed to make an appearance – at a different stand.
While the Corner holds at Adela Street from 12pm to 7pm, Wizkid will be at Emslie Horniman’s Pleasance sound system hosted by Red Bull Music Academy.
The annual carnival which largely celebrates the Caribbean culture and tradition officially starts tommorow, 26th until bank holiday Monday, 27th.
This year in honour of the Grenfell Tower fire, guests are being encouraged to wear ‘green’ with a 1 minute silence to be held at 3pm on both days.
While Wizkid is scheduled to perform with top artists on Sunday 27th, his nationality’s corner will host a family and children friendly event on Sunday 27th, and a largely adult theme on the bank holiday Monday.
