Pan Trinbago Medium Conventional Bands Finals 2025: Pan Showdown in Tobago


It's time for steelpan magic again, and today, in Tobago, Pan Trinbago's Medium Conventional steebands final will take place at the Brian Lara Stadium. Some of the best in the business will arrange an evening of great music to win it all! It will be a night to remember for those pannists giving their all tonight. Pan lovers know that this evening's performances promise to be a unique and awesome showcase of talent, rhythm, and culture, celebrating the rich heritage of steelpan music.

As the boats and planes land in Tobago, bringing fans and broadcasters to the island, those of us living outside of the Twin Island Republic will be watching and enjoying the show from afar. Ten outstanding steel bands will set the mood, while we spectators will engage in conversation and act as unofficial 'bush judges' to determine the winner. 

Don't miss this unforgettable night of music, culture, and camaraderie; this music is exceptional and unique to our carnival culture.  Whether you're a steelpan enthusiast or are just a first-time attendee, you will enjoy this event. If you are a first-time listener or viewer, do yourself a favor and listen to the songs before the performances. We have listed the songs and links to YouTube so you can listen. You will have a better appreciation for the work done by the arrangers, drillmasters, and pannists.

Let's have some fun tonight and let the rhythm of the steelpan transport you to a world of musical brilliance and cultural pride. See you at the Brian Lara Stadium tonight!
