One of the Caribbean’s most decorated soca performers, Claudette “CP” Peters from Antigua, has secured a headline spot at the highly anticipated 26th edition of Montserrat Festival UK (MFUK), themed “Rising from the Ashes,” set to take place in London on July 18. Event organizers have confirmed that the 10-time Soca Monarch Queen will anchor a lineup dedicated to honoring Montserrat’s rich cultural heritage, vibrant musical traditions, and tight-knit global community.
Peters, a trailblazer in Caribbean carnival music, made history as the first woman to claim Antigua and Barbuda’s coveted Road March title, launching a career that has thrived across the region for more than 20 years. Over her decades-long career, she has built a loyal global fanbase through a catalog of beloved hits, including fan favorites *Something Got A Hold On Me*, *All I Know*, *Go Claudette Go*, and *Diva*.
Beyond her chart-topping discography, Peters has earned widespread acclaim for her lasting impact on Caribbean entertainment. Event organizers highlighted her dual legacy as a pioneer of modern soca and a dedicated mentor to up-and-coming musical talent across the Caribbean, cementing her reputation as one of the region’s most accomplished entertainers.
The July celebration is projected to draw hundreds of attendees, primarily members of the Montserratian diaspora based in the UK and music lovers from across London’s wider Caribbean community. Organizers note that Peters’ headline appearance will amplify the event’s core themes of heritage preservation, collective resilience, and cross-community unity, making the performance one of the most anticipated highlights of this year’s UK Montserratian cultural calendar.
