Beyonce Kicks Off This Weekend’s Made in America Festival

The Made in America music festival — a Philadelphia concert event curated by rapper Jay Z — takes place this weekend, with performances by Beyonce, The Weeknd, Big Sean, Jidenna, and more.

The festival kicks off on Saturday, with pop singer Nick Jonas taking the Liberty Stage at 5:45 p.m. and Queen Bey ending the night on the Rocky Stage at 10:30 p.m.  

On Sunday, Jidenna will bring “Classic Man” to life on the Tidal Stage at 3:00 p.m., followed by Big Sean on the Rocky Stage at 6:30 p.m. The Weeknd closes out the two-day festival with the night’s final performance at 9:30 p.m. on the Rocky Stage.

The festival will be held at Benjamin Franklin Parkway. Unlike last year’s event, concert-goers on the West Coast won’t get to experience the event in Los Angeles, where it was streamed simultaneously with the Philly concert.

This will be the fifth year of the Made in America fest, which benefits United Way of Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey, as well as United Way of Lancaster County.
