Titan the Robot is a family entertainment show, and Titan’s comedic antics are enjoyed by children and adults alike.
Weighing in at 60kg and standing at 8ft tall, the first public appearance of Titan was in 2004 at Glastonbury Festival.
Since then, Titan has appeared on Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway, taken stage alongside celebrities including Will Smith, Jackie Chan and Rihanna and even performed at the Chinese F1 Grand Prix in Shanghai, Sochi Winter Olympics and Commonwealth Games.
Titan will take a break from his busy schedule to perform at St Thomas’ Square in Newport on Saturday, July 23.
Ahead of the main Newport Carnival procession at 7pm, which is celebrating 100-years, Titan will perform three sessions alongside other forms of entertainment throughout the day to help get the carnival spirit flowing.
Paddy McHugh, Newport Carnival's vice chairman and events organiser, said: “We are extremely overwhelmed to be able to bring the world-famous Titan to the streets of Newport in 2022.
“With the pandemic forcing the cancellations of two years of carnivals, the team have been working hard to focus our efforts on celebrating Newport Carnivals mammoth 100-year celebrations.
“Although Titan will not be in the carnival parade, there will be various activities taking place throughout the day around Newport.
“On behalf of the committee, I would like to thank everyone who has supported Newport Carnival over the years to help support an incredible day.
“We hope to kick off the Isle of Wight Carnival Season 2022 with a bang!”
