Get ready for the highly anticipated return of Dreamville Festival in Raleigh, North Carolina. This star-studded music festival, created by North Carolina rapper J. Cole, is back for its fourth year in The City of Oaks. With a lineup featuring top artists like SZA, 50 Cent, Nicki Minaj, and J. Cole himself, this event promises to be a weekend of unforgettable performances and celebration.
Dreamville Festival aims to showcase Cole's Dreamville music label and create a vibrant hip-hop and R&B festival for the East Coast. Last year's festival drew a massive crowd of 100,000 people over two days and had a significant economic impact. This year, organizers have announced that there are still weekend passes available for purchase, although the festival has sold out in previous years.
The festival will take place at Dorothea Dix Park, providing a beautiful outdoor setting for attendees to enjoy the performances. Gates will open at noon each day, and festival-goers can expect a star-studded lineup on two stages, featuring both rising stars and established artists.
Exciting Lineup and Enhanced Amenities
The Dreamville Festival lineup is filled with talented artists from Cole's label, including J.I.D, EARTHGANG, Bas, Cozz, Omen, and Lute. This year, rapper 50 Cent has replaced Chris Brown as the headliner for the first day due to unforeseen circumstances. With bigger stages, enhanced lighting, and improved sound, the festival promises an immersive experience for all attendees.
In addition to the fantastic music lineup, organizers have made several improvements to enhance the overall festival experience. Attendees can look forward to upgraded bathroom facilities, with flushable toilets replacing the typical portable potties. VIP passholders will have access to air-conditioned restrooms in trailers, ensuring maximum comfort. The number of shuttles has also increased by 25%, providing more transportation options for fans. Cell providers AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile/Sprint have worked with the City of Raleigh to improve connectivity on site, keeping attendees connected throughout the festival.
