J. Cole’s Dreamville Festival reveals its schedule on not one, but two stages

J. Cole’s inaugural Dreamville Festival is falling into place.

Friday, organizers revealed the schedule for the many acts that will perform at the daylong music event at Dorothea Dix Park April 6.

Cole, originally from Fayetteville, headlines the show, which will take place across the Dix Park and on two stages. The performers’ stage times are staggered so that no two acts overlap. The stages are called “Rise” and “Shine.”

The lineup features SZA, Big Sean, 21 Savage, 6lack, Nelly, Teyana Taylor, Davido, Bas, J.I.D., Grammy-nominated Triangle resident Rapsody, Cozz, Saba, Earth Gang, Ari Lennox, Omen, Charlotte’s Lute and Raleigh’s Mez.

The Shine Stage borders Blair Drive while the Rise Stage is at the opposite end of the park, closer to Biggs Drive.

The park has two entrances, and gates open at 12 noon.

Tickets remain on sale at a variety of price points, starting at $119 for general admission passes. VIP packages are $240 to $449 and include better seats, private bathrooms, VIP bars and food vendors and a quicker entry process.

The event benefits Cole’s Dreamville Foundation and the Dorothea Dix Conservancy.

There will be shuttles from parking sites at NC State and downtown Raleigh.

There will be around 20 food vendors, including popular food trucks Oak City Fish & Chips, Big C Waffles and Qspresso.

The festival originally was scheduled in September but was postponed because of Hurricane Florence.
