DREAMVILLE FEST RETURNS

J. Cole is expanding the next edition of the Dreamville Festival to two days, 4/2-3, putting tickets for the Raleigh, N.C., event on sale Friday.

Cole, who grew up in Fayetteville, N.C., oversees the festival bill and has invited some of his favorite artists and collaborators to perform. The Live Nation-produced festival will be held at Dorothea Dix Park.

“It’s exciting to finally be back. Ever since we wrapped our first fest, we’ve been waiting to get back to the park with our Dreamville family," said Dreamville Partner and Festival President Adam Roy. “We had to come back bigger and better than before. With the fest moving to two days, it's about to become what our team has always dreamed about. We want this to grow into one of the premier annual music experiences in the country.”

A special pre-sale begins Tuesday. A portion of proceeds from the 2022 event will be donated to the Dreamville Foundation and Dorothea Dix Park Conservancy.

More than 40,000 people attended the inaugural festival in April 2019.
