J. Cole Announces Dates For 2025 Dreamville Festival 

J. Cole’s Dreamville Festival is set to return to Raleigh, North Carolina, in April for its fifth-anniversary celebration. This follows the sold-out 2024 festival, which marked Dreamville’s biggest year yet.

Mark your calendars for April 5-6. The festival will once again take place in J. Cole’s home state of North Carolina at Raleigh’s Dorothea Dix Park. An announcement promises that the lineup will drop later this year.

Ticket presales start Dec. 11 at 9 a.m. EST, with two-day GA, GA+, and various VIP packages available. If any presale tickets remain, a general onsale will follow and prices will increase as the event date approaches.

The 2024 edition of Dreamville attracted 100,000 festival attendees from all 50 states, Washington D.C., and more than 20 countries. The lineup featured SZA, Chris Brown, J. Cole, Nicki Minaj, Lil Yachty, ScHoolboy Q, Sexyy Red, Rema, Jeezy, Monica, Rae Sremmurd and more.

The festival is expected to once again boast dozens of local vendors, food trucks, artisans, and muralists with site-wide art installations and the iconic Dreamville Ferris Wheel. The event also raises awareness and support for community organizations through Dreamville Foundation’s Nonprofit Row. Dreamville is also an asset to the overall community by generating an economic impact of $145+ million for the greater Wake County area.

Fans are waiting on J. Cole to release a follow-up album to 2021’s The Off-Season. Earlier this year he hit the road with Drake for the “It’s All A Blur Tour – Big As the What?” The trek is nominated for a Pollstar Award for Hip-Hop Tour of the Year.
