Ringo Brings the Vaal Kota Festival to Life

By Sello Makgobatlou

It was great seeing one of Mzansi’s talented musicians, Ringo, take to the stage yesterday in Vanderbijlpark.

The crowd went crazy, and seeing that kind of reception must have brought a big smile to his face, especially after he had not been seen performing in many places across the country and abroad for so many years.

The Vaal Kota Festival 2026 was indeed a huge success, and Amanda Black was also there, doing what she loves most — singing for the people.

Many people in South Africa don’t just go to these festivals to eat, connect with friends and meet new people. They also go to enjoy live performances from their favourite musicians.

But for those who didn’t get the chance to make it to Vanderbijlpark for the 2026 Vaal Kota Festival, there’s still another opportunity.

The Albany Joburg Kota Festival is coming in October!

We can’t wait to see you there.

Get yourself a ticket while they’re still available. Don’t wait until they’re sold out before you start looking for one!
