The 2025 Dreamville Festival lineup is dropping soon. Which artists will perform?

March 17 update: You can find the full Dreamville Festival lineup here.

After much anticipation, fans are just days away from finding out who will be performing at the fifth and final Dreamville Festival in Raleigh.

Hip hop superstar and Fayetteville native J. Cole’s annual music festival will be returning to Dorothea Dix Park April 5-6, and the lineup of musical artists hitting the stage will be revealed Monday, March 17.

With this being the end of an era for one of North Carolina’s biggest music events, there is a lot of excitement about which artists fans can expect to see.

Of course, as in years past, J. Cole is likely to bring out the roster of artists under Dreamville Records including Ari Lennox, Bas, J.I.D, EarthGang, Cozz and Omen. But who else do you think will be traveling to the Triangle for the two-day event?

Tell us your predictions for who will perform or who you’d like to see join this year’s lineup. We’ll publish your picks along with the official lineup on March 17.
