It has been announced that Riky Rick’s cotton fest has been postponed to April.
After the death of the late rapper, no one was sure if the show would hold until it was confirmed that it will hold but not until April.
Riky Rick died about 2 weeks ago. His death shocked so many as endless endearing tributes and messages still keeps pouring.
However, Riky Rick’s family has made the decision to move forward the highly anticipated lifestyle festival.
Known for showcasing the diversities in various music genres with the aim of fusing the gaps within the different local movements, Riky Rick created the festival to merge both well-known and young emerging SA artists.
‘We have to continue to keep his spirit and legacy alive. What better way to do this than to continue the work Riky has already started. Cotton Fest needs to go ahead as planned by him! His love and belief in showcasing young and upcoming talent is unquestionable, which is how Cotton Fest came about a few years back. And in his own words – we never die, we multiply! Let’s build on this energy, and continue to spread the love and light at a time when we need it the most.’ affirmed Riky’s wife Bianca Naidoo this morning.
Now, Cotton Fest will now take place on the 23rd and 24th April in Newtown, Johannesburg.
The team apologizes for any inconvenience caused to current ticket holders who might not be able to attend on these new days.
