“We’ve been trying to put this festival together for a few years now,” said Ibrahim Hamad, Cole’s manager and president of Dreamville Records told The Washington Post. “It’s just hard to come into a city and get the whole city to approve it and [get] behind you. So it was great that we took our time … and really connected with the city, connected with the mayor.”
The festival will be in Dorothea Dix Park in Raleigh, North Carolina on September 15.
Despite the lack of information, some of his fans are already hype about the event.

Early bird tickets are available on the festival's website and general sales will begin Monday. Performers will be announced at a later date, but Hamad promises there will be an eclectic mix of artists.
“It’s going to be a variety of different acts that we love or excite us,” he said. “It’s something we want to build for years and years to come.”
