The Dreamville Music Festival kicked off Saturday at Dorothea Dix Park in Raleigh, North Carolina. With the gates opening pushed back to 3 PM, a total of 13 acts hit the stage in under 12 hours. Key Glock didn’t make it but Toosii replaced him.
Day 1 was headlined by none other than legendary R&B act Usher. Other performances include Lil Durk, Ari Lennox, City Girls, Sean Paul, Earthgang, Jessie Reyez, Toosii, SiR, Lute, Omen, and Marqus Clay.
Usher did his THANG! He did it for the lover and friends, the superstars and also pulled a hilarious April Fools joke.
Here are FIRE photos from day 1 at Dreamville’s annual music celebration:
