Ahead of the second instalment of Cotton Festival 2022 in Cape Town in December, organisers have announced that another edition of the event is set to return to the Old Station in Newtown, Johannesburg, in 2023.
Since the passing of festival founder Riky Rick in February, the rapper's family and business partners have continued his legacy and mission to see the event reach all corners of the world after infiltrating Mzansi.
Organisers said they were thrilled about the upcoming festival because the late rapper's legacy is growing.
“What started as a great idea between Riky and I many years ago became a whole culture movement. Alongside his family, we are extremely excited to be building on his legacy and extending the festival to my city, which was always part of our plans.” said co-founder Alain Ferrier.
The festival celebrates youth culture and sheds light on Mzansi's young, rising stars, merging established and upcoming South African talent.
The line-up for 2023 is yet to be announced, but many expect the hottest South African talents on three stages, including performances by amapiano and hip hop artists.
Tickets are on sale at Webtickets and Pick n Pay outlets nationwide, with options as follows:
- R200 Black Friday — limited tickets available
- R300 Early Bird — limited tickets available
- R350 General Access Tickets
