J. Cole’s has announced that the Dreamville Festival is coming back.

Billed as the largest artist-led music fest will return to Raleigh, North Carolina on April 5-6, 2025 for a fifth-anniversary celebration. 

The festival will house site-wide art installations,  learning more about local community organizations through Dreamville Foundation’s Nonprofit Row, and attendees can ride the iconic Dreamville Ferris Wheel.

When it comes to economic impact, the festival brought in approximately $145 Million for the greater Wake County area. As part of its commitment, the “Dreamville Festival will continue to offer a true taste of the good life in North Carolina.” The festival will feature dozens of local vendors, food trucks, artisans, and muralists spread across the Dix Park festival grounds.

Last year, the festival enjoyed its biggest year yet, attracting more than 104,000+ attendees from across the globe to watch some of the biggest names in hip-hop and R&B.

While no performers have been released, next year’s event promises another unforgettable celebration for Dreamville fans worldwide.

Originally launched in 2018 in Raleigh, North Carolina, the Dreamville Festival is the Dreamville brand’s signature annual event for its fans worldwide. 

Along with being a successful label, Dreamville is now a “modern multidisciplinary entertainment and media company” with Apparel, Impact, and Festival divisions.

In addition to the festival, Cole has entered the podcast game, releasing the series titled “Inevitable.” Derived from conversations with Ibrahim Hamad over the years, Scott Lazer is also on board to capture the story. The series also includes previously unreleased music from Cole’s archives.

Cole shared the vision of the series in an Instagram post.

“It’s hard to write a caption to describe what this is. I really don’t even know what to call it. We settled on calling it an ‘audio series’ but to me, it plays like a movie in the form of a conversation,” he said.

Tickets for the festival go on sale Wednesday, December 11, with two-day GA, GA+, and various VIP packages.
