A slew of revellers and soca fans turned out recently for the third staging of Xodus Remedy held at the National Stadium.

Patrons were treated to the annual 'mini' Road March affair as Jamaica prepares for carnival 2023. Managing Director of Dream Entertainment and co-owner of Xodus, Scott Dunn, shared that the team is pleased with the turnout at the event and states that this is just the "warm-up" for the upcoming carnival season.

"We are pleased with the massive turnout at yet another staging of Xodus Remedy and I just want to thank our loyalists and other fans at the event for coming out. Tonight was just a warm-up for what's to come for the upcoming carnival season as we prepare for another execution as the biggest band on the road," he said.

The costumes turned heads as both young and the young at heart pulled no punches. Event revellers oozed carnival style in Monday wear while some rocked dazzling costumes on the scene. One guest shared that she has already planned for carnival and will be jumping with the Exodus band.

"I will be jumping with the biggest band in Jamaica Xodus Carnival. On carnival day, I will start my morning with carnival Glam Hub for my makeup, hair and photography," said Melissa Lui. Soca lover Shawn Silburn also shared his plans for carnival 2023 where he said he'll be making 'lifestyle' changes ahead of the event.

"Well I will have to change my diet, I'll have to eat right so that I can be prepared. We have to do runs so that we can be fit for the road so we don't mash up - Xodus Remedy has been great tonight, the vibes is good and I'm just waiting for the trucks to move off," he said.

Attendees had a grand time 'wukking up' to the musical selections of Jus Jay, ZJ Chrome, DJ Nova, Coppershot and FyahMatic. The drink inclusive event was complemented by on-site offerings from Lucozade and Doritos snack stop to keep guest satiated throughout the spirited celebration. The night ended with a soca frolic around the stadium in a mock road march style with a bright red truck leading the way. The Smirnoff trucks were locked and loaded not only with music but the moving bars on the ground deck which made grabbing a mixed drink easy, as patrons 'chipped' along the route twice. The trucks played all the hottest songs for 2023 as well as old favourites that had to be in rotation.
