RALEIGH, N.C. — Fans of North Carolina rapper J. Cole waited in lone lines Saturday outside of Lincoln Theatre in Raleigh in hopes of getting into two "semi-secret" shows planned that night at the venue.

Cole is celebrating the fifth anniversary of his breakthrough album "The Warm Up" by performing it live during a series of secret shows this summer. He announced weeks ago that he would be playing in Raleigh on July 19, with the exact location to be revealed on social media the day of the show. Admission to the show will be $1 at the door. 

The location of the show was leaked early Saturday sending droves of fans to stand outside Lincoln Theatre  in hopes of getting in. Cole announced via via Twitter Saturday afternoon that a second show had been added that night.
