Maxzilla at
NottingHill Carnival 2026
Maxzilla made its live debut during the 60th-anniversary Notting Hill Carnival Bank Holiday weekend, held from 29–31 August 2026.
Taking the sound directly into the heart of Carnival, Maxzilla launched live aboard the Drid Dim Tribe float, bringing together an explosive line-up of artists and collaborators.
The performance featured Killa Kela, Aaron Horn, Rikki Lee and Normz Demolition Sound, combining live energy, sound-system culture and Maxzilla’s distinctive musical identity on the streets of Notting Hill.
The appearance marked a major moment for Maxzilla: its first live outing, surrounded by the colour, movement and unmistakable atmosphere of one of London’s most iconic cultural celebrations.

to Clubland.
The end result is hybrid; a band performance attitude with Electronic Dance production…
