What happened to Dreamville Festival?

J. Cole's Dreamville Festival concluded after its fifth edition, held April 5-6, 2025 at Dorothea Dix Park in Raleigh. The City of Raleigh announced plans for a differently named festival at the same venue as part of a multi-year deal, but as of April 2026 that successor event had not been named, dated, or held, and no festival took place that spring for the first time in five years.

It ran from 2019 to 2025.
