One day after Rolling Loud announced the line-up for its upcoming show in Miami with headliners Ye, Future, and Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole has officially announced the line-up for this year's return of Dreamville Festival in North Carolina.

Announced on Wednesday (March 2), the expanded two-day format of the festival will include performances from every artist signed to Dreamville, as well as J. Cole, and a bunch of special guests. Each day will feature a nostalgia act with Ja Rule and Ashanti reuniting on-stage on Saturday, April 2 before DJ Drama hits the stage for the first-ever performance of Gangsta Grillz with Lil Wayne, Jeezy, and T.I on Sunday.
