***Carnival Collective* boasts 30+** musicians and delivers an irresistible tidal wave of energetic music. Once described as Brighton’s 21st Century Big Band, the *Carnival Collective* sound ranges from live drum & bass and jungle to reggae, cumbia, swing and funk. The Collective will be making its Brighton Pride Main Stage debut, delivering a vast battery of Brazilian drums and shaking the ground beneath a fat horn section and dirty bass lines, topped off with lush vocal harmonies.

After a successful year for the group, including the release of its LP *Another Thing*, performances at Glastonbury and Secret Garden Party and the celebration of its 20th birthday, 2015 looks set to be another exciting year of memorable *Carnival Collective* celebrations with Brighton Pride a real highlight.

**Carnival Collective’s Tim Lincoln said:** *“We are wildly excited at the prospect of a show at Brighton Pride in its 25th and our 21st year! Pride is one of Brighton and Hove’s best-loved events and typifies the glorious flamboyance and inclusivity of our great city. Thank you so much for having us, we can’t wait!”*
