Following the successful Cape Town edition, the highly anticipated Cotton Fest returns to Johannesburg next month, and today confirmed this years’ line-up.
Taking place in the inner city on Saturday, the 4th of February, the festival will once again merge both established and young emerging local talents performing live across three energy packed stages.
