Dreamville Festival has announced the lineup for its fifth and final edition, with Lil Wayne, 21 Savage, Erykah Badu, and festival co-founder J. Cole set to headline the two-day event at Dorothea Dix Park in Raleigh, N.C., on April 5-6.
The festival, which began in 2019, has grown into one of the premier hip-hop and R&B events in the South. With its final bow set for April, this year’s lineup blends rap legends, R&B royalty, and rising stars for what is expected to be a historic send-off.
Organizers confirmed that a limited number of two-day general admission passes, starting at $299.99, remain available on the festival’s official website, with other ticket tiers already sold out.
The first night of the festival will feature a moment of hip-hop history as Lil Wayne headlines alongside fellow Hot Boys members Juvenile, Turk, and B.G., as well as Big Tymers (Mannie Fresh and Birdman). Wayne’s set comes after last year’s debates over whether he should have headlined the New Orleans-hosted Super Bowl LIX halftime show.
Wayne will be joined by 21 Savage, a longtime J. Cole collaborator who helped earn the North Carolina rapper his first Grammy. Other Saturday performers include Ab-Soul, Young Nudy, Chief Keef, Ari Lennox, Lute, Omen, Kai Ca$h & Niko Brim, Bas, and Ludacris. R&B star Keyshia Cole will also perform a special set celebrating the 20th anniversary of her debut album, "The Way It Is," which includes her signature hit “Love.”
On Sunday, Cole will take the stage as the festival’s final headliner, joined by Badu, who is slated to receive the Icon Award at Billboard’s Women in Music ceremony on March 29.
Additional Sunday performers include Grammy winners Tems and Coco Jones, as well as rap stars GloRilla, Wale, BigXthaPlug, JID, and Anycia. EarthGang, Cozz, and Akia will also hit the stage to close out the weekend.
Dreamville Festival president Adam Roy reflected on the event’s legacy and the significance of this final installment.
“Our team looks forward to welcoming fans from around the world to Dreamville Festival this spring for our fifth-anniversary celebration,” Roy said in a statement. “The first weekend in April has grown to become one of our team’s favorite times of the year as an annual NC reunion.”
