JAY-Z's Made In America festival was scheduled for Labor Day Weekend in Philadelphia
It's been canceled.
“Due to severe circumstances outside of production control, the 2023 Made in America festival will no longer be taking place,” organizers posted on the event website. “This decision has been difficult and has not be made lightly nor without immense deliberation.”
SZA and Lizzo were the headliners for the festival. Lizzo has been embroiled in scandal; three background dancers accused her of fat shaming and sexual harassment.
The festival launched in 2012. They hope to do it again in 2024.
