Made in America has been canceled for 2023, as the Philadelphia festival announced today (August 8), citing “severe circumstances outside of production control.” The statement continued, “This decision has been difficult and has not been made lightly nor without immense deliberation.” Ticketholders will be refunded for their purchases. Read the rest of the festival’s statement below.
SZA and Lizzo were set to headline this year’s festival, which was slated to take place September 2-3. Mase and Cam’ron were also supposed to perform a collaborative set, in addition to appearances from Ice Spice, Miguel, Metro Boomin, and several more. Lizzo has been embroiled in a lawsuit from former dancers alleging sexual harrassment and a hostile work environment in recent weeks, and has denied all accusations of wrongdoing. Pitchfork has contacted represented representatives for Made in America and Lizzo for comment.
Made in America Festival:
Due to severe circumstances outside of production control, the 2023 Made in America festival will no longer be taking place. This decision has been difficult and has not been made lightly nor without immense deliberation.
Made in America has a legacy of delivering exceptional experiences for music fans and concert goers, and it is our commitment to always deliver a top-tier festival experience.
We look forward to returning to Benjamin Franklin Parkway and the great city of Philadelphia in 2024.
All ticket holders will be refunded at original point of purchase.
