Made in America Music Festival 2016

Made in America 2016
Recapping one of the most epic music festival weekends of the Summer!

This past Labor Day weekend, we had the opportunity to spend a few days in Philadelphia for the Budweiser – Made in America Music Festival.  Sponsored by Tidal, the lineup was personally curated by Jay Z himself, 2016 featured headliners Rihanna, Coldplay, Chance the Rapper, Jamie xx, ColleGrove (2 Chainz & Lil Wayne) to name a few.  Beginning in 2012, the festival finished its 5th year in the City of Brotherly Love with a brief stint in Los Angeles in 2014.  

 

With five different stages scattered throughout Benjamin Franklin Parkway, festival goers had the chance to discover and experience a wide spectrum of music within the 2-day affair.  The Tidal Stage, for example was dedicated to fairly new artists such as Lil Yachty, Kacy Hill, Kevin Garrett and Desiigner; helping to drive the new generation of musicians forward in a big way.

While this festival may not be as big as Coachella or Lollapalooza, the Made in America music festival definitely creates a blissful environment filled with great vibes.  To be fair, much of it was owed to the all star lineup of artists that graced the stage:

Bryson Tiller had us intoxicated (literally and figuratively), leading us to believe we’ve been neglecting our women; A$AP Ferg and Travi$ Scott (sorry, No Ty Dolla $ign) made us lose our minds trappin’ in the mosh pit; Chance the Rapper delivering the gospel; Coldplay taking us on a journey through a world of color, and Rihanna being, well…Rihanna!
