J. Cole's Dreamville Festival will be presented for the last time on April 5 and 6, 2025 at Dorothea Dix Park in Raleigh, North Carolina. “What a ride it’s been… We can’t thank y’all enough for all the memories we’ve shared,” wrote the rapper and his team in a statement.
“From the very beginning, the idea behind the fest was creating a place where our fans, the Dreamville community, could spend time together, a place where they could see themselves reflected, a place to share in experiences,” added J. Cole and Dreamville organizers. “Let’s run it back one more time in April!”

Next April’s event will be the fifth Dreamville Festival. The event shares its name with a record label J. Cole founded with his manager Ibrahim Hamad.
J. Cole, who was raised in nearby Fayetteville, announced the first Dreamville Festival in 2018. The inaugural installment was postponed to 2019 in the wake of Hurricane Florence. After a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic, Dreamville Festival returned in 2022 and has been held each year since.
Cole and organizers have yet to reveal the lineup for the final Dreamville Festival. A presale for tickets is underway. Text “DREAMVILLE” to 68624 to get the password. If tickets remain following the presale, they will be offered to the general public.
