J. Cole’s Dreamville Music Festival announced its lineup Tuesday, proving, yet again, that Raleigh is for real cool.
Driving the news: The event is April 1-2. Two-day passes are on sale now starting at $249.
Why it matters: Dreamville, along with other major events the city has hosted in recent years, has helped Raleigh shed its reputation as a sleepy capital city.
By the numbers: Last year, Dreamville reported 80,000 visitors, with tickets sold in all 50 states, plus Washington, D.C. and the U.S. Virgin Islands, as well as 20 countries.
💭 Lucille’s thought bubble: I lost all focus Tuesday when this lineup was announced, partially because I’m really proud of my city and partially because I’m pumped to see at least half of the artists performing.
