J. Cole's inaugural Dreamville Festival has been rescheduled for April 6 in Raleigh.

The festival, featuring Fayetteville native Cole and a roster of nearly 20 other rappers, had been scheduled for Sept. 15 in Dorthea Dix Park but was postponed due to Hurricane Florence. Organizers said the lineup may be subject to change.

"We are proud to say that Dreamville this spring will also serve as a benefit to hurricane victims in the Carolinas," J. Cole's manager and president of Dreamville Records, Ibrahim Hamad, said in a news release. "We hope that fans in North Carolina and across the U.S. will not only join in celebrating the very first Dreamville Festival, but also the resilience of this amazing community."
