The countdown to the sixth edition of Cotton Fest has officially begun! And the faculty team just dropped phase one of the highly anticipated line-up for next month’s gathering, and it’s already looking insane!

Happening in the heart of Joburg on Saturday, April 26th, the University of Cotton Fest is back like it never left! As always, the festival will bring together both big-name stars and fresh and emerging new talent, all performing live across three hype-filled, high-energy stages.

Cotton Fest, initially created to highlight the mix of different music styles and bridge gaps between local scenes, the event continues to celebrate fashion and sport – it’s full-on vibes!

And this year is so much more – the urban music, fashion and sports takeover is about to get wild with over 100 acts showcasing South Africa’s hottest young artists and creators hitting the Cotton Fest Stage, the Bunker Stage (powered by Play Energy), and The Lot Stage (powered by Jägermeister).
