After taking a hiatus in 2020, Jay-Z’s Made in America Festival is set to make a grand return this year, judging by the recently revealed lineup.
The 2021 edition of the festival will be headlined by rising rap star Lil Baby and Canadian pop sensation Justin Bieber while also promising performances from Megan Thee Stallion, Doja Cat, and Roddy Ricch. The bill also includes A$AP Ferg, Tinashe, Lil Durk, and Freddie Gibbs, alongside a number of later additions.
The two-day event, marking the 10th anniversary of the festival, will take place at Philadelphia’s Ben Franklin Parkway on Labor Day weekend (September 7-8).
“This year will be like no other, as Made In America celebrates 10 years of music history-making moments,” said founder Jay Z, who also serves as a curator of the festival. “We look forward to sharing incredible memories with our festival attendees and the city of Philadelphia.”
Jay Z founded Made in America as a way to bring music and culture together. The inaugural event was held in 2012 and had 80,000 people attending. The audience grew each year since, with the festival welcoming some of the biggest names in popular music.
A Los Angeles-edition of the festival was held in 2014, but it turned out to be a one-off event due to poor ticket sales.
