Made In America festival no longer taking place in 2023 due to “severe circumstances outside of production control”; SZA, Lizzo and more were to perform

Made In America announces sudden cancellation of 2023 festival 

Jay Z’s annual Made In America festival in Philadelphia was initially supposed to take from September 2-3, on Benjamin Franklin Parkway. However, in a sudden turn of events, the festival just announced that it’s no longer taking place in 2023. They cited that this decision was made due to “severe circumstances outside of production control.” 

“Due to severe circumstances outside of production control, the 2023 Made In America festival will no longer be taking place. This decision has been difficult and has not been made lightly nor without immense deliberation.

“Made in America has a legacy of delivering exceptional experiences for music fans and concertgoers, and it is our commitment to always deliver a top-tier festival experience. We look forward to returning to Benjamin Franklin Parkway and the great city of Philadelphia in 2024.”

Made In America 2023 contained a very solid lineup, as SZA and Lizzo were set to headline. Furthermore, fans were also set to see Tems, Miguel, Doechii, Coi Leray, Coco Jones and more hit the stage, that weekend. As a result, the plan is to still bring back Made In America to Philadelphia again, in 2024.
