Last year, Jay-Z made an unprecedented move in announcing the Made In America Festival in Philadelphia. A concert which he himself headlined while bringing out other music stars such as Pearl Jam, Kanye West, Drake, Skrillex, and more. The announcement was received with criticism due to it been a big corporate sponsored event and it was thought be using taxpayers money for its cost, which wasn’t the case (It actually brought an increase in revenue to local businesses that feared the concert). The show went amazingly well, so after its success we have arrived here to the 2nd Made In America Festival.
I will be attending this year to give you some press coverage of the event and my take on the best performances. Also, so that you may live the experience vicariously. (although Jay-Z is not set to perform, I count on him appearing at the festival)
