J. Cole has shared bittersweet news with fans: the 2025 Dreamville Festival will mark its final installment.

The rapper, who recently announced a 10 year anniversary show for his beloved album 2014 Forest Hills Drive. Today, the rapper revealed that his Dreamville Festival will be having its final year in 2025.

“What a ride it’s been… We can’t thank y’all enough for all the memories we’ve shared,” the festival’s Instagram wrote in a post. “From the very beginning, the idea behind the fest was 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. Let’s run it back one more time in April!”

Scheduled for April 5 and 6, 2025, in Raleigh, North Carolina, the lineup for next year’s show has not yet been revealed.

Last year’s blowout featured headliners SZA, 50 Cent, Cole and Nicki Minaj, as well as appearances by Lil Yachty, Schoolboy Q, Sexyy Red, Jeremih, Earthgang, Teezo Touchdown, Rema, Jeezy, Monica, Rae Sremmurd, Key Glock, Hunxho and more.

This year’s festival included J. Cole apologizing to Kendrick Lamar for dissing him, saying, “That was the lamest, goofiest shit.”

In a second post celebrating the festival’s half decade run, Cole wrote, “From the moment the idea of a festival took shape, we couldn’t help but wonder: were we in over our heads? Would people come to our home in Raleigh? What would that even look like? We took a leap of faith — breaking ground, making announcements, and even navigating reschedules due to the elements and a world that seemed to be falling apart. Through every challenge and milestone, our community stood by us.”

The note added, “Watching people from all over the world and all walks of life gather here each year has been one of the most fulfilling chapters of our journey. Whether it’s the day-one fans or the newcomers, each reunion has been unforgettable. As we approach our 5th and final year, we want to invite our alumni and new pledges to come together one last time—to break bread, share fellowship, and celebrate this thing of ours.”
