“We’re incredibly honoured to host the Milk + Cookies Festival in South Africa. This isn’t just about putting on a show; it’s about immersing ourselves in the culture, learning from it, and contributing to it,” said a spokesperson for Milk & Cookies.
“South Africa’s influence on music, culture and art is profound, and we wanted to pay homage to that by making it the home of our first international festival. Our goal is to celebrate the local culture while blending it with global sounds to create something truly special.”

MILK + COOKIES IS MORE THAN JUST A FESTIVAL
The Milk + Cookies Festival is a key event in the first-ever Milk + Cookies Music Week in South Africa, taking place from December 31, 2024, to January 11, 2025. The week begins in Cape Town with New Year’s celebrations, yacht parties, cultural activities, and unique fashion pop-ups featuring prominent local designers.
Throughout the week, local artists and DJs will set the mood for brunch mixers, encouraging creative interactions among artists from the U.S., South Africa, and various other African nations.
The second week emphasises artist development through workshops, panels, and networking events aimed at supporting emerging music talent in South Africa. Inspired by the successful ATL Music Week, activities such as songwriting camps and listening sessions will encourage collaboration between South African and American musicians. Additionally, an executive branch will honour industry professionals.
Organisers of the festival have announced that presale tickets will be released on Monday, November 4, and the general public can purchase tickets starting Wednesday, November 6, through the Howler website.
