J. Cole’s Dreamville Records is bringing a team to Cary for The Soccer Tournament, a 7v7 competition with a $1 million prize, this summer. But fans expecting another music festival will have to keep waiting.
FULL STORY: Dreamville is coming back to the Triangle, just not how you might think
Here are key takeaways:
- Dreamville FC will compete in The Soccer Tournament (TST), a 7v7 event returning to Cary for the third year with a $1 million prize for the winning team.
- The team will be “supported by key figures from the Dreamville organization,” though J. Cole’s direct involvement was not mentioned in a news release.
- TST runs Wednesday, May 27, through championship games on Monday, June 1, at WakeMed Soccer Park, 101 Soccer Park Drive. Schedules and tickets are available at tst7v7.com.
- The announcement does not include news on the Dreamville Music Festival, traditionally held in early April at Dix Park. Raleigh officials confirmed in April there is no firm date for a new festival.
- This is the latest sports venture for J. Cole, who has signed with the Nanjing Monkey Kings of the Chinese Basketball Association and previously played in the Basketball Africa League and Canadian Elite Basketball League.
