The festival is named after Dreamville Records, the music label co-founded by J. Cole. Many festival performers include Dreamville signees like Lennox, J.I.D., Bas, Cozz, Lute, Omen, and EarthGang. J. Cole also curates the lineup of the festival each year.

The Dreamville Festival, according to its website, will also feature “dozens of local independently-owned businesses, as well as artisans, muralists, merchants, and community organizations to offer attendees a true taste of the good life in Raleigh.”

The dates were released last year, and pre-sale tickets sold out shortly after, according to ABC News 11. General admission and VIP tickets are currently available on the festival’s website.

Dreamville Festival was founded in 2018 and is one of the largest music festivals in North Carolina. Last year’s festival lineup included Lil Baby, Wizkid, Kehlani, Ja Rule and Ashanti, and Fivio Foreign.
