After a sold-out debut in 2025, Milk + Cookies Festival is making its big return to South Africa—and they’re bringing none other than US rap star Gunna with them!
Catch the multi-platinum hitmaker live at Kenilworth Racecourse in Cape Town on 2 January 2026, where he’ll be sharing the stage with local legend Virgo Deep.
Then it’s Joburg’s turn—DJ Kent will join Gunna for a massive show at the Nasrec Expo Centre on 10 January 2026. You already know the vibes will be off the charts.
But it’s not just about the party. The festival also includes Milk + Cookies Music Week—a week of workshops and panels for up-and-coming music writers, producers, and creatives looking to break into the industry.
“We’re here to not only uplift local talent, but to show the world how South Africa is shaping global culture,” says Chase Freeman, Head of Marketing at Milk + Cookies.
Tickets drop Friday, 10 October 2025 at 8:30 AM on Howler.
