Jay-Z’s Made In America festival canceled again

-

Jay-Z’s annual Made in America festival, held in Philadelph­ia over Labor Day weekend, has been canceled for the second year in a row.

The festival announced the cancellati­on on social media and its official website Wednesday. A specific reason was not outlined, and a representa­tive for Made in America referred questions back to the statement.

“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,” the statement read, without providing a timeline for the festival’s return. A lineup had not yet been announced. In August, a month before the festival was scheduled to take place on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway with Lizzo and SZA as the headliners, Made in America announced the festival would not happen “due to severe circumstan­ces outside of production control,” according to a statement then.
