Made In America Festival Coming To NYC, Not Returning To L.A.
Last year, Budweiser’s Made In America festival, which Jay Z had a hand in curating, expanded from its Philadelphia home base and launched a simultaneous festival in Los Angeles. This year, the festival will return to Philly over Labor Day weekend. But as Entertainment Weekly points out, it won’t be returning to L.A. Instead, the festival will host a one-day show at New York’s Liberty Island on 6/21, and Mary J. Blige will headline. There will also be a one-off, one-day show at a yet-to-be-identified national park, which will relax its alcohol restrictions for the day. There’s no role on what Jay’s involvement is with this iteration of the festival, but we can expect the Philly lineup in a few days.
