Dreamville Festival is a music festival in Raleigh North Carolina held annually each spring. 

It is located at Dorothea Dix Park and is being held on April 6 and  7, 2024. 

The set list was finalized on April 1,  and the headliners are SZA, 50 Cent, J. Cole and Nicki Minaj along with other performers throughout the festival. 

Dreamville Festival works with nonprofit organizations and charities to give back to the community while providing a memorable experience: the NC Department of Natural and Cultural Resources, GOOD, Earthgang Foundation, Two-Six, NOW Serving, and other organizations. 

You can purchase official event parking and guarantee a spot in one of the designated Dreamville Fest parking lots on NC State University’s Centennial Campus. Parking, shuttle, and pick-up information for the festival can be found on their Instagram page @dreamvillefest. 

On-site lockers are available to be reserved prior to the festival so you don’t have to carry your items around all day. You can reserve a locker through this link. 

Dreamville is the talk of the classroom as students are beyond excited about the experience they are going to have this weekend. 

“I am definitely really excited to dress up and take cute pictures with my friends. Since it is my first year going, I definitely can not wait to see my favorite artists live like SZA. SZA is just so inspirational with her music, the impact her lyrics have on me and everything else she has to offer. I also cannot wait to hear Rich Baby Daddy live because it is one of my favorite hype songs”, said Nara Dietrich, senior. 

“I’ve always wanted to go to Dreamville and this is the first year I’ve really been able to go. I have always wanted to see J. Cole in concert and now I finally can say I am, so I am the most excited for him”, said Brady Spinak, senior. 

Dreamville is a great experience to, not only hear your favorite artists live, but to make memories with friends and family, socialize, eat good food, and appreciate the festival. 

“I am super excited for Dreamville. I have always wanted to see J. Cole and I got so lucky this year because of the lineup! I cannot wait to see SZA, 50 Cent, and Lil Yachty on Saturday and on Sunday J. Cole, Nicki Minaj, and Key Glock! I am going to make amazing memories and I am so lucky that I don’t have to travel for this awesome experience,” said Katelyn Gill, senior. 

People plan ahead and travel miles to stay in Raleigh for the weekend. This event will bring about 100,000 fans together. 

Make sure your bag is packed and prepare for this amazing event! Have fun and be safe Loonies!
