Philadelphian’s rejoice! The jigga man himself, Jay-Z, is bringing back his Made In America festival to the Benjamin Franklin Parkway in Philadelphia on Labor Day weekend (August 31 and September 1). After last year’s star-studded line-up, many were waiting in anticipation for this year’s performers and boy did they come up big.

Made In America 2013 will feature: Beyoncé, Nine Inch Nails, Phoenix, Deadmau5, Kendrick Lamar, Drake, Queens Of The Stone Age, Imagine Dragons, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Wiz Khalifa, Skrillex, The Gaslight Anthem, Walk The Moon, and so many more.

Not only is this a huge event for the city of Philadelphia, but it’s an enormous event for the music industry. Jay-Z, for the second year in a row, managed to bring together an eclectic mix of musicians and genres. Everything from the world’s most famous electronic dance acts to some of hip-hop’s top rappers in the game right now. Festivals nowadays are a dime a dozen, however there is something different about this festival which makes it special. It could be the fact that they’re holding it on a main roadway in one the top 5 largest cities in the country or that the festival packed in about 40,000 people on each day. Either way, when you attach a name like Jay-Z to something of this magnitude, you’re bound to shake things up and set the bar just a little bit higher.

Footage from last year’s event can be seen below.
