Small Conventional Steelband Finals 2026: Southern Stars & Uptown Fascinators Tie at Skinner Park


Skinner Park was alive on Saturday, January 10, 2026, as the Small Conventional Steelband finals delivered the first real jolt of Panorama electricity for the season. Southern Stars and Uptown Fascinators emerged victorious with 283 points, while Golden Hands Steel Orchestra secured a solid third position with 278 points.

The full top‑ten results and every performance from the finals are listed below, so you can dive in, listen, and decide for yourself—the music always tells its story.

With the Small category secured, the focus now switches to the Medium and Large Conventional bands. Carnival heat is rising fast, and before long the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat will be argued, defended, and dissected by bush judges across Trinidad and the diaspora.

Kaiso Dial will be present throughout the entire event.
