Dreamville Festival

The city of Raleigh announced a new music festival that will take the place of Dreamville Fest starting in 2026.

Raleigh’s major music festival Dreamville, put on by NC native J. Cole, makes the City of Oaks a party for one last weekend.

J. Cole grew up in nearby Fayetteville and uses this music festival as an opportunity to shine a light on the place that helped shaped him as an artist.

The Dreamville Festival returns to Raleigh in 2025 for its fifth and final year.

Dreamville Festival, hosted by Fayetteville rapper J. Cole's music label, went off at Dorothea Dix Park in Raleigh. WUNC's Caitlin Leggett, Josh Sullivan, Kamaya Truitt, and Brian Burns were there. Here's what they had to say.

The Atlanta-based duo EARTHGANG performed at Dreamville Festival at Dorothea Dix Park in Raleigh. WUNC's Kamaya Truitt caught up with the duo before their set to talk about community, art, and accessibility.

We asked our staff at WUNC to name their favorite songs from the 2024 Dreamville Festival lineup. Here's what they had to say.

Dreamville Festival organizers are promoting a prelude of events around the Triangle that sets the stage for what they say will be a spectacular festival.
