J. Cole's Dreamville Festival, set to take place April 6-7 in Raleigh, announced the full lineup Thursday for the 2024 festival.

Artists such as SZA and Chris Brown will join Grammy-nominated rapper Nicki Minaj, who announced Dec. 11 on her official Instagram account that she would be appearing at this year's Dreamville Festival.

J. Cole, who grew up in Fayetteville and graduated from Terry Sanford High School, held his first Dreamville Festival in 2019. It expanded into a two-day event in 2022, and the following year, 100,000 attendees from all 50 states and 14 countries traveled to Raleigh to take part in Dreamville Weekend 2023.

Here's everything we know so far about Dreamville 2024.
