J. Cole may indeed be retiring, revealing to his followers that his Dreamville Festival will be coming to a close after its fifth and last edition in 2025.
The bittersweet news was confirmed on Tuesday (December 10) by festival organizers through a post in social media pages, stating that the event will happen on April 5 and 6, 2025. “What a ride it has been. We can’t thank y’all enough for all the memories we’ve shared.” This was part of the message.
Cole’s manager, Ibrahim “Ib” Hamad, shared the gratitude by saying, “Thank You North Carolina. To everyone who’s travelled over the past 4 years to enjoy our little reunion,” declaring it a dream come true as well as a product of many people’s hard work. The festival has had a meaning.
The 2025 Dreamville Festival will take place at Dorothea Dix Park, Raleigh, North Carolina, a few miles away from Cole’s hometown, Fayetteville. The complete line-up is yet to be disclosed.
