Expanding the Vision Milk and Cookies is no stranger to ambitious productions. Following the immense success of the 2024 Atlanta Music Week, which drew over 10,000 attendees, the company now seeks to elevate South Africa’s cultural scene to the global stage. Through a curated mix of panels, pop-ups, yacht parties, and festivals, Milk + Cookies Music Week highlights the transformative power of music and technology. “Our mission is to connect people through shared experiences, merging local vibrancy with global artistry,” said a representative from Milk and Cookies. “South Africa’s dynamic cultural landscape is the perfect canvas for our first international venture.” Cape Town Kicks Off The festivities begin in Cape Town with a series of events designed to engage industry professionals, music lovers, and the curious alike. Highlights include Music Tech House Presents: Dot Connector, a panel series exploring the intersections of music, culture, and technology, and the Out The Oven Merch Pop-Up Party, where exclusive drops meet genre-bending beats.

The party continues late into the night with Kaytranada’s intimate M+C Afters set at the Old Biscuit Mill. Johannesburg Steps Up After Cape Town, the action shifts to Johannesburg, where a series of private and public events build momentum for the city’s own Milk + Cookies Festival. Kicking off with the Royale Mixer, an exclusive dinner for movers and shakers in the music and fashion industries, the programming quickly broadens with events like the Pre-Kay Vinyl Party at Neighborhood, which celebrates rare grooves and DJ culture. The Johannesburg festival at Huddle Park promises a diverse and electrifying lineup, with Kaytranada leading the charge alongside talents like Muzi, Morda, and Yolophonik. As with Cape Town, the energy will carry into the early hours with a special M+C Afters set by Kaytranada at Truth’s iconic terrace.
