The annual Made in America festival, organized by Jay-Z, has been canceled for the second consecutive year.
The event, which usually takes place over Labor Day weekend in Philadelphia, did not provide a specific reason for the cancellation.
The announcement was made on social media and the festival’s website, as reported by Fox News.
“The Made In America executive production team is re-imagining 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.
In August 2023, just a month before the scheduled festival with headliners Lizzo and SZA, Made in America announced that the event would not go ahead due to circumstances beyond their control.
The festival, founded in 2012 by Jay-Z as a celebration of music and culture, had only been canceled once before in 2020.
The organizers expressed hope for a return in 2024.
