Jay-Z’s ‘Made In America’ Festival Lineup Announced: Are You Disappointed?
MTV – The Made in America Festival will be held at the city’s Benjamin Franklin Parkway on September 1 and 2. Full lineup: Jay-Z, Pearl Jam, Skrillex, Odd Future, Maybach Music Group featuring Rick Ross, Wale and Meek Mill, Afrojack, Calvin Harris, Passion Pit, Santigold, D’Angelo, Miike Snow, Dirty Projectors, X, Janelle Monae, Prince Royce, Rita Ora, the Knocks and a DJ set by Savoy.
When ?uestlove went out on a limb and said this lineup would put the other big concerts to shame, he probably should have been a little more subdued. Dude’s excitement got me thinking we were gonna see hologram 2Pac and Biggie freestyle battle it out on the steps of the Art Museum. Just raised the expectations way too high.
I’m obviously a huge Jay-Z fan and because I had close friends that were/are on Pearl Jam’s dick, I’ve grown to like them as well. I know they have a crazy cult following and Eddie Vedder probably catches headpieces from grunged-out hairy pussy chicks all over the country, but what else is there? Passion Pit? Odd Future? Santogold? What is this — 2010?
Skrillex will be fun I’m sure and Meek Mill will shut Philly down, but I’m just not nearly as hyped as I should be. Kanye and Beyonce will probably show but that’s a given. You better have some surprises in store, Jigga. D’Angelo and Miike Snow aren’t going to rock a million people.
What do you think? Vote 1 for Disappointed and 10 for Best Lineup Ever.

Meek is the only one worth seeing that will be wild
this is only the first day, the second day should be better and i’m sure jay z will get a lot of surprise guests
i haven’t heard of a single group besides JZ Skrill and Pearl Jam
Afro jack and Calvin harris will shut shit down too
im all set, thought about actually going, fucking sucks, philly is a dump too, prob helped my decision
im happy because im seeing pearl jam for the first time in 2 years. pearl jam is closing out the sunday show apparently and that day will be most of the rock/indie music and saturday will be rap apparently. i mean ill be honest pearl jam is the only band i have interest seeing, 99 bucks wasnt bad for a 2 day pass but i have no plans to go on the first day
“i haven’t heard of a single group besides JZ Skrill and Pearl Jam”
That seems to be more of a you problem
Who the fuck are these people? I’ve heard of 4 of them. Fail
yeah, i’ve heard of roughly a third of these people. also, i don’t like these mixed-genre shows. if i’m going to a hip hop show, i want a hip hop show; rock show, a rock show. i can’t just go: jay-z, skrillex, pearl jam, d’angelo…that’s way too all over the place.
whoever wrote this article clearly doesn’t listen to good music. how’d you get a writing gig, man? your opinions don’t mean shit when you think skrillex might be fun. the lineup isn’t the best, but it’s pretty damn good. kudos to jay-z.
Except for washed up pearl jam.. None of these hipster nigs plays a fuckin instrument.. Maybe one of the shitty bands I’ve never heard of does… But who cares.. Blacks ruin everything
you people really don’t understand the concept of a music festival, do you?
Also, Pearl Jam is far from washed up and for everyone saying they only recognize three artists, maybe expand your music library a little bit.
Not really a huge Pearl Jam fan, but they’re one of the biggest bands of the 90′s, that’s a little more than a “cult following.”
