The Dreamville Festival has endured a handful of hiccups since it was first announced in 2018 but is finally starting to establish itself as an annual event in Raleigh. The inaugural fest was first scheduled for Sept. 2018 but was postponed and rescheduled for April 2019 due to Hurricane Florence. While the 2019 event sold out, the festival was put on hold for the next two years due to Covid-19. The Dreamville Festival finally returned last year with sets from J. Cole, Lil Baby, Kehlani, WizKid, Lil Wayne, Jeezy, Rico Nasty, and more.
