It all started on the 26th of January when the late & legendary Riky Rick announced that Cotton Fest is back but unlike the previous ones, this year he promised to bring us the “University of Cotton Fest” and instead of solely having stages, we were promised a multi layered festival campus experience which included three different stages. Indeed the class of 2022 showed up and showed off, from the fits all the way to the performances.

If you wanted to see all your favourites who were performing at different stages, you had to time your stay at one faculty to another perfectly. The best performances of the open day at the University of Cotton Fest were undeniably by Cassper Nyovest, Nasty C, Blxckie and Lady Du. If you missed the open day, you can still make it today.

Here are some of the most standout faces and fits from the open day of this university.
