Reigning Chutney Soca Monarch champion, Machel Montano, will return to defend his crown when the final of the competition takes place on February 8 at Skinner Park in San Fernando. This was confirmed as Southex launched the Chutney Soca Monarch last evening, with Guardian Media’s Sangeet 106.1FM becoming its official partner. It will be a day-night event starting with a pre-show at 4 pm. The show will end at 12 midnight and, for the 11th year running, will remain free to the public.
The semifinal round will take place on January 30 at the Queen’s Park Savannah, Port-of-Spain, with 25 artistes to be selected.
The Chutney Soca Monarch also announced it will add another major title that will be up for grabs at the Grand Final of the 2026 Chutney Soca Monarch. Five years ago, the Queen of Chutney Soca was added, and over the last five years, five different Queens of Chutney Soca have been crowned.
