Tems to headline Dreamville Festival 2025 with J Cole, Lil Wayne and more

Nigerian singer-songwriter Tems is set to make history as one of the headliners for the 2025 final edition of the Dreamville Festival, joining an elite lineup that includes J. Cole, Lil Wayne, Erykah Badu, and 21 Savage.
The two-day event is scheduled for April 5 and 6, 2025, at Dorothea Dix Park in Raleigh, North Carolina.
Since its inception in 2018, Dreamville Festival has evolved into a premier music event, drawing tens of thousands of fans annually. However, this year’s edition will mark the end of an era, making the 2025 festival one of the most anticipated yet.
Tems‘ inclusion as a headliner underscores her rapid ascent in the global music industry. The Essence star, known for her soulful blend of Afrobeat and R&B, has gained international recognition with collaborations alongside Wizkid, Drake, and Future.
Her performance at the Dreamville Festival is expected to be one of the standout moments of the event.
The festival lineup features an impressive mix of hip-hop, R&B, and Afrobeats superstars. Lil Wayne will headline the first night, April 5, with 21 Savage, Hot Boys, and Big Tymers also set to perform. The following day, April 6, will see J. Cole, Erykah Badu, and Tems taking centre stage to close out the festival.
With the Dreamville Festival set to take its final bow, the 2025 edition promises to be a monumental celebration of music and culture that will be remembered for years.
