Having announced the return of the annual Cotton Fest taking place in February 2020, the highly anticipated line-up was revealed last week and is set to feature over 100 of South Africa’s finest talent, this one-day urban music and fashion explosion is back with plans to be even bigger and better from its inaugural event this past January.

Merging both well known and young emerging South African artists, Cotton Fest showcases the diversities in hip-hop, while fusing the gaps within the different local movements, will be taking place in central Johannesburg in the early part of next year.

SA media giants MTV base and YFM return as media partners for the 2020 edition to ensure the messaging gets to every corner of the country.

“Cotton Fest is a platform that resonates closely with the YFM brand. We were here in year one and following the success of this year’s festival, it was obvious we would get behind Riky and his team again. They are 100% in it for the culture and their work represents the voice of young people in the city. Cotton Fest 2020 promises to be bigger and we look forward to growing the brand while supporting the youth as we defy the odds”. said YFM’s Fanele Moloi earlier this week.
