Panorama 2026… an unforgettable night of steelpan excellence!

Get ready for an incredible evening of music, culture and competition as the UK National Panorama Steelband Competition returns on Saturday 29th August 2026.

Following the success of last year’s historic showcase, Junior Panorama and the main competition will once again take place on the same stage and on the same night, bringing generations of pan players together in one powerful celebration of steelpan culture.

Audiences will experience the energy and excellence of the UK’s finest youth steelbands before the country’s leading adult orchestras take to the stage in a spectacular display of musicianship, artistry and passion, all competing for the title of Panorama Champions 2026.

5pm Junior Panorama
8pm Panorama

Winners for both Junior Panorama and Panorama will be announced on the night.

This is more than a competition. It is the beating heart of steelpan tradition and the biggest night of steelpan in the UK.
