JAY-Z's Made In America festival has been canceled for a second straight year.
“Made In America will not take place in 2024,” read a statement. “Since its inception, this groundbreaking festival has celebrated music & community — from creating a space for fans to connect, to uplifting local small businesses & shining a light on important causes. It has strived for accessibility, eliminating barriers through affordable tickets and location.
As purveyors of change, the Made In America executive production team is reimagining a live music experience that affirms our love and dedication to music and the work we do. We promise an exciting return to the festival.”
At least this year, the show was shuttered before tickets went on sale.
Last year, the Philadelphia Labor Day weekend festival was canceled just weeks before Lizzo and SZA were supposed to headline it. Organizers cited "severe circumstances outside of production control."
The festival was launched in 2012. Do you think we'll ever see another one?
