WRAL reported, citing a City of Raleigh spokesperson, that members of Live Nation and the Dreamville Foundation filed an event-permit application in October for a multi-stage music festival listed as "Dreamville Presents." The application, WRAL said, proposes April 3 and 4, 2027, at Dix Park, with an overall permit window from March 17 through April 10. No festival has been officially announced.

A filing is not a confirmation

"Please note that doesn't necessarily mean they will do the event. They applied for a permit last year too," a city spokesperson told WRAL. The station also reported that the application describes on-site food service for about 55,000 people. WRAL said J. Cole founded Dreamville Festival in 2018, that it ran at Dix Park for five years, and that the festival ended its run in 2025.
