Lil Wayne, 21 Savage and J. Cole are among the headliners at this year’s fifth and final Dreamville Festival in Raleigh.

Why it matters: The lineup for Dreamville’s finale, which was released Monday less than three weeks before the festival is set to take place, has been long anticipated.

The festival has consistently been one of Raleigh’s largest events, regularly bringing around 100,000 visitors to Dorothea Dix Park since it began in 2019.

Driving the news: Lil Wayne will headline the festival’s first day, Saturday, April 5, with Hot Boys and Big Tymers. 21 Savage will also perform Saturday night.

J. Cole will headline the festival’s second day as he has in years past, along with Erykah Badu and Tems.
Wale, GloRilla, Ari Lennox and BigXthaPlug will also perform at the festival, according to the lineup released by the festival Monday.

What’s next: General admission tickets for the two-day festival are available starting at $299.99. Other ticket options are sold out but you can join the waitlist.
