What a bummer
J. Cole has canceled the inaugural Dreamville Festival, which was supposed to go down on Saturday, September 15th. The reason? Hurricane Florence, which is heading to the Carolinas and which can eventually become a Category 5 hurricane.

On Monday night (September 10th) the rapper went to Twitter to make the announcement, saying that 30,000 people were expected to show up to the festival in Raleigh, North Carolina:
Mannn. Due to this Hurricane heading to NC, we have to cancel Dreamville Festival. We’re working to get another date, but right now safety is most important. I appreciate everybody that was headed to rock with us. 30,000 + were expected. 🤯🤯
All tickets will be refunded. Bsafe
