The story

KosMOS Fees in Windhoek

KosMOS Fees is an Afrikaans-language music festival held in Windhoek each April, staged alongside the KykNET Buite Ekspo Namibie outdoor lifestyle expo at the Wanderers Sport Grounds and Affies Park. Organized by Trio Events, the weekend pairs a two-day exhibition of outdoor living, food, and family brands with a single evening concert lineup drawing major South African and Namibian Afrikaans recording artists to the Namibian capital.

KosMOS Fees began as the concert component of Trio Events' KykNET Buite Ekspo Namibie, an outdoor-living trade show that has grown into one of Windhoek's fixed points on the April calendar.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

What sets KosMOS Fees apart is its pairing of a full-scale outdoor lifestyle trade show with a concentrated evening of headline Afrikaans music, so visitors can spend a day browsing exhibitor stands for camping gear, biltong, and farm produce before the same grounds turn into a concert venue after dark

02

The mystery stays covered

The bill leans on veteran Afrikaans entertainers such as Kurt Darren, Robbie Wessels, Demi Lee Moore, and Juanita du Plessis, giving Namibia's sizeable Afrikaans-speaking community, descended largely from Boer trekker and German-Afrikaner settler lineages, a home-grown answer to South Africa's much larger Afrikaans music circuit without needing to cross the border
