5th Annual Dreamville Festival Set For April 5-6, 2025
5th Annual Dreamville Festival Scheduled For April 5-6, 2025 in Raleigh
Well, it’s about that time to save up your holiday coins…because Dreamville Fest is officially on the way!
The 5th annual music festival, curated and headlined by J. Cole, is scheduled for April 5-6, 2025 at Raleigh’s Dorothea Dix Park. The lineup has yet to be revealed, but ticket presale starts on December 11 at 9 am on the festival’s website, www.dreamvillefest.com.
Remember, pre-sale tickets will be limited and at a discounted price. Regular tickets will be available after the presale period. Fans can sign up for e-blasts on the website or subscribe to text updates by texting DREAMVILLE to 68624.
Since its inception in 2018, Dreamville Fest has attracted Hip-Hop and R&B fans from around the world. Last year’s festival, which saw performances by Nicki Minaj, 50 Cent, SZA, and others, set a new festival record with over 100,000 festivalgoers traveling from 20+ countries and all 50 states. Millions more also tuned in from home with a full live stream on Amazon Music.
The news comes as J. Cole continues to take a phenomenal look back at his career, by way of his Inevitable audio series and the re-release of his classic mixtapes The Come Up and The Warm Up on DSPs.
Now with Dreamville Fest on the horizon, it appears that 2025 will be a big year for Fayetteville’s native son.
(Also, if he just so happens to release The Fall Off around that time, we would not complain…Just saying.)
The Official Press Release:
Global superstar J. Cole and Dreamville, the internationally recognized entertainment brand and multi-platinum record label for which he cofounded, are proud to announce today that Dreamville Festival will officially return to Raleigh, North Carolina on Saturday, April 5, and Sunday, April 6, 2025.
The 2025 ticket presales will begin next month on Wednesday, December 11 at 9:00 a.m. EST offering two-day GA, GA+, and various VIP packages. These will be the least expensive tickets available to the general public with prices increasing as the event date approaches. If any presale tickets remain, a general ticket on-sale will follow.
After a historic fourth edition last spring, in which 100,000 festival attendees from all 50 states, Washington D.C., and 20+ countries traveled to Cole’s home state of North Carolina to attend the Dreamville brand’s flagship annual event, Dreamville Festival will once again return to Dorothea Dix Park to usher in the spring festival season with a massive outdoor celebration of music, culture, and community.
As an annual reunion for Dreamville fans worldwide that generates an economic impact of $145+ million for the greater Wake County area, Dreamville Festival will continue to offer a true taste of the good life in North Carolina next spring with dozens of local vendors, food trucks, artisans, and muralists spread across the Dix Park festival grounds.
Fans can also look forward to immersing themselves in site-wide art installations; learning more about local community organizations through Dreamville Foundation’s Nonprofit Row; riding the iconic Dreamville Ferris Wheel, which provides unparalleled skyline views of downtown Raleigh and the sprawling festival grounds; and enjoying more surprises throughout the weekend.
Festival organizers would like to thank the many partners and sponsors supporting this year’s event including this year’s charitable partners – Dreamville Foundation and Dix Park Conservancy – for which a portion of proceeds from the 2025 event will go on to support these important nonprofit organizations.
The new music lineup is set to drop later this year. Until then, stay up-to-date on future Dreamville Festival news and announcements by visiting the following channels:
