It's official, the lineup for the grand finale of J. Cole's Dreamville Fest has been announced. Lil Wayne, 21 Savage, J. Cole, and Erykah Badu are among some of this year's headliners for the North Carolina music festival.

Dreamville Festival Grand Finale

The last-ever Dreamville Festival runs April 5-6, 2025, turning Raleigh's Dorothea Dix Park into a music lover's paradise. Following a massive $145 million boost to Raleigh's economy in 2024, when 104,000 fans filled the park, the 2025 goodbye spans two action-packed days. Saturday brings the heat with Hot Boys, Big Tymers, and Ludacris taking the stage.

Sunday includes performances by Badu leading an incredible lineup featuring Tems, GloRilla, and Coco Jones. Making it even more special, the Hot Boys reunion will be one for the books as the festival ends its run.

Festival-goers from all 50 states and 20 countries will come together for this epic send-off. Between shows, they'll enjoy local food trucks, check out art displays, ride a giant Ferris wheel, and explore countless art installations throughout the park.

Fresh from receiving her Billboard Women In Music Icon Award, Badu's appearance shows just how big Dreamville has become as an artist-focused festival. Her star power adds something special to this final chapter.
