Grammy award-winning Dancehall star Sean Paul gave a smashing performance on day one of J Cole’s Dreamville Festival in Raleigh, North Carolina, on Saturday, April 1, 2023.
Paul’s set was nothing short of energetic.
He kicked things off with his Dua Lipa collab No Lie which went Double Platinum in the UK last year. The momentum was maintained with Get Busy, Cheap Thrills, Baby Boy, Give It Up To Me, and Gimmi Di Light, and backup dancers, who stayed on beat, as the Jamaican star transitioned from classic to classic.
Those who were unfortunate to miss it got a glimpse of all the excitement via social media today thanks to photos and a recap video.
Sean Paul is the first Dancehall artist to perform at the highly anticipated show since its inception in 2019.
The two-day Dreamville Fest saw approximately 50,000 patrons who turned out to see other popular acts like Usher, Lil Durk, City Girls, and Ari Lennox.
The event wrapped up on Sunday (April 2, 2023) with the likes of Drake and J. Cole, who performed a medley; Summer Walker, Arrya Star, Waka Flocka Flame, and the African giant Burna Boy. There was also a special appearance by Lil Wayne.
