Dreamville Festival, J. Cole's annual music event in Raleigh, has announced its 2025 edition will be its last, marking the end of a significant chapter in music festival history.

The festival, scheduled for April 5th and 6th, 2025, will unveil its final lineup before the end of 2024. Despite attracting over 100,000 attendees in 2024 and generating a reported $145 million economic impact for the local area, organizers have confirmed this will be the "fifth and final edition."

The announcement comes amid a challenging year for music festivals, with over 170 events being canceled, postponed, or discontinued in 2024. This trend reflects the increasingly saturated festival market post-COVID, with major events like Coachella experiencing slower ticket sales than usual.

Dreamville's timing coincides with several other major spring festivals in 2025:

• Coachella (starting four days after Dreamville)
• Stagecoach
• EDC Las Vegas

Current presale tickets for Dreamville's final edition are available at $299.99. While organizers haven't specified the exact reason for ending the festival, they emphasized its original mission: "creating a place where our fans, the Dreamville community, could spend time together, a place where they could see themselves reflected, a place to share in experiences."
