Update: While music fans all across the states were looking forward to the first ever Dreamville Festival, the inaugural festival has been cancelled due to Hurricane Florence.

J. Cole took to Twitter to address the situation and stated that the festival would be postponed.

Mannn. Due to this Hurricane heading to NC, we have to cancel Dreamville Festival. We’re working to get another date, but right now safety is most important. I appreciate everybody that was headed to rock with us. 30,000 + were expected. 🤯🤯

All tickets will be refunded. Bsafe

Original: J. Cole is excited to announce the full music lineup for his inaugural Dreamville Festival, a new one-day music festival experience making its debut on Saturday, September 15 at Dorothea Dix Park near downtown Raleigh, North Carolina.

The festival, produced in partnership with Dreamville Records and ScoreMore Shows, will be the first event of its kind for the region. A thoughtfully curated, multi-stage music event from J. Cole, who was raised in nearby Fayetteville, North Carolina, this year’s festival will offer attendees a lineup of music artists selected by Cole himself.

The lineup includes some of today’s biggest acts like SZA, Big Sean, Young Thug, Rich The Kid, Nelly, Tayana Taylor, along with several artists from North Carolina that will showcase the incredible musical and creative talents from across the festival’s host state.

In an effort to help shine a light on the amazing musical talent in the state of North Carolina, several local musicians have been selected to perform, including Snow Hill native Rapsody, nominated for “Best Rap Song” and “Best Rap Album” at the 2018 Grammy Awards, the latter marking a major milestone for the emcee, as this is only the fifth time a solo female artist has been nominated for the award; Raleigh native YBN Cordae, a core member of the YBN rap collective and best known for his record “Old N*ggas” in response to J. Cole’s own track “1985”; and Dr Dre-collaborator and rapper King Mez, who also grew up in Raleigh.

General admission and VIP tickets are on sale now at www.dreamvillefest.com.
