Inside Dreamville Festival’s Unforgettable Branded Experiences

Dreamville Festival 2024 is a wrap, but the magic of the experience for fans lives far beyond the weekend of music. As 100,000 fans descended on Raleigh, North Carolina to enjoy performances by headliners like SZA, Nicki Minaj, and J.Cole, brands went above and beyond to make the moment even more unforgettable.

See how leading brands from Defender and Hennessy to Charmin and Chateau Ste. Michelle enhanced the festival experience for fans.

Hennessy

Hennessy invited festival-goers to enjoy classic cocktails reimagined with a Hennessy twist at its Dreamville experience.

As a brand whose history is embedded in the culture, connecting through live music has always been a priority for us and Dreamville is a prime opportunity to lead the charge. This is the first of multiple festivals where Hennessy will have a unique presence in 2024, creating a place for consumers to experience the brand like never before.
