Dreamville Festival is Coming To Raleigh
J Cole is blessing the Carolinas with a music festival, and this is exactly what the Carolinas need right now! The hope is that a festival like this will bring to light the amazing amount of talent that’s pumping throughout the entire region, with a mix of dope artists and performers from the industry. The festival will be held in Raleigh, North Carolina, in Dorothea Dix Park on September 15, 2018. J Cole’s record label, Dreamville Records made an official announcement, and it looks like the presale tickets are already sold out according to the the website.
Now, there isn’t much info on who will be performing at the festival, but the hope is that J Cole will be giving us a great mix of industry talent blended with artists throughout the Carolinas. Our hope is that we will get to see some dope underground artists that deserve to be featured on this festival’s platform. A music festival in the Carolinas could be huge; the region is lacking an event like this, that has the potential to be a major player in the musical festival scene. This is the type of event that could electrify the music and creative industries in both North and South Carolina.
In an article with the Washington Post, J Cole’s Manager, Ibrahim ‘Ib’ Hamad, stated:
“We’ve been trying to put this festival together for a few years now. It’s just hard to come into a city and get the whole city to approve it and (get) behind you. So it was great that we took our time … and really connected with the city (and) connected with the mayor. It’s going to be a variety of different acts that we love or excite us. It’s something we want to build for years and years to come.”
Tickets to the general public will go on sale Monday, April 30th, 2018 at 10:00 am EST. Follow @Dreamvillefest on Twitter for updates and log on to Dreamvillefest.com for tickets. We look forward to seeing our readers at Dreamville Fest in September (insert dance emoji)!
