RALEIGH, N.C.Dreamville Festival, the popular music festival from rapper J. Cole, is coming back to Raleigh next year.

The festival made the announcement via social media Tuesday, Tweeting that the event would be held in Raleigh in April 2022.

The first Dreamville Festival was held in April, 2019 after being postponed from its original September 2018 date due to Hurricane Florence.

It was the first major concert event at Dix Park and went off with few issues. While heavy traffic and long lines were to be expected, the event didn't have nearly enough food vendors to handle the sell-out 40,000 person crowd, which resulted in unreasonably long lines for meals.

Dreamville Fest was set to hold its second annual event in Raleigh's Dix Park in April 2020, but it was postponed due to COVID-19.

Headliners for the 2022 festival have not yet been announced. The 2019 bill included Cole, Nelly, Rapsody, SZA, Big Sean and 21 Savage.

The Dreamville Festival benefits the Dreamville Foundation and Dix Park Conservancy.

J. Cole, who was born in Germany but was raised in Fayetteville, will also be performing this year in Greensboro. "The Off-Season Tour" will feature Cole, 21 Savage and Morray will play the Greensboro Coliseum on Sept. 28. Tickets go on sale for that show on Friday.
