Riky Rick’s Cotton Fest heading to Cape Town this December

Created by global music and fashion icon Riky Rick, one of SA’s biggest culture gatherings will be heading to the Mother City for the summer break.

The festival exploded in popularity back in 2019, featuring over 150 artists.

Since its inception it has become much more than just a music festival. The youth culture gathering celebrates the new wave of music, fashion and lifestyle. Mainly known for merging both established and upcoming South African talent, Cotton Fest also showcases the diversities in music while fusing the gaps within the different local current movements.

The first Cotton Fest of the year took place in Johannesburg at The Station in Newtown in April, in memory of deceased rapper Riky Rick.

Co-founder Alain Ferrier on Monday said that they, alongside Riky’s family, are extremely excited to be building on his legacy and to extend the festival to Cape Town.
