Raleigh's Dreamville Festival will continue in the city under a new brand, Sascha Stone Guttfreund, a promoter with Dreamville and Live Nation, said in a news conference Thursday with Raleigh officials.
Why it matters: The news, which comes two days before the fifth Dreamville is set to begin, is welcome after North Carolina-born rapper J. Cole announced earlier this year that this festival would be the last in its current form.
Cole will remain involved, but it's unclear whether he will perform in future festivals.
Driving the news: The city has been in talks with Live Nation for months about continuing the festival.
The pair signed an agreement Thursday that commits the festival to running in the city for another four years at Dix Park.
The biggest question many in the community who are fans of Dreamville Fest are wondering, will NC rapper J. Cole continue to be involved in this new musical festival.
“Because we’re using the Dreamville label to a certain extent, he will obviously be involved, whether or not headlines, that’s probably not going to be an occurrence,” Adams-David added.
Taking bets on Omenville
This internet s*** too corny.
Because Wayno said that the Dreamville niggas make fun of TDE Soul wasn't supposed to get a performance bag?
Fried brains.
