“We are thrilled to announce Made in America 2021 on the legendary Benjamin Franklin Parkway. This year will be like no other, as Made In America celebrates 10 years of music history-making moments,” says JAY-Z in a statement on Roc Nation's website. “The artists’ performances will be even bigger and Cause Village will host a wider range of amazing philanthropic organizations. We look forward to sharing incredible memories with our festival attendees and the city of Philadelphia.”
The JAY-Z founded event was initially launched in 2012 and has only grown in popularity since. Since its inception, the festival has raked in over $135 million for the city of Philadelphia. The festival’s Cause Village hosts charitable organizations that guests can explore and get involved with, connecting music lovers with important causes.
Made In America took a hiatus in 2020 due to the ongoing pandemic, but returned in 2021 with a killer lineup. Justin Bieber and Lil Baby headlined the event and other performances included Megan Thee Stallion, Baby Keem, Tinashe, Young Thud, Doja Cat, Kehlani, and more.
