Made in America Festival

Good times, good vibes ! The performers were great, hated all the mud

Don't second guess yourself about buying these tickets! The festival has a great atmosphere with 4 different stages for performances. One thing I will say is plan accordingly if you want to see your favorite artists up close. Some artists are more popular then others so you will have to find a spot early and camp out. Also be aware you will be on your feet a long time so wear comfortable sneakers.

Perfect way to end the summer. Lineup was incredible!!!

4 stars because kanye west ruined the entire made in America weekend. I hate writtng a poor review about someone doing there job. Hov said he was gonna bring out some one every one wanted and 30 thousand people said no way Skrillex is coming out!!!! Only to be disappointed it was someone else and then kanye comes out and just starts yelling on stage. Maybe he was "rapping" I wasn't really sure. I am sure I saw about 10 thousand people sit down though and at least half of them fell aslee. So here's to hoping kanye west never comes to Philadelphia again.

The show was absolutely fantastic. Can't wait to go next year. Amazing!

Made In America is hands down the best event of 2012! Epic performances that can never and will never be duplicated! Thank you Budweiser and Jay-Z! Can't wait until next year!

Well worth the trip. Well planned and all acts rocked

This event was sell coordinated! amazing artist and plenty of fun. The "rave" in the "Freedom" tent was nice! Kanye and Good music coming out was UNREAL! Thanks Phhily, Jay-Z, and Budweiser!

MMG the best!, JayZ, Bey, Ye, ALLLLLLL DID A GREAT JOB

worth every penny. Wale, Meek Milly, Rick Ross and the rest of MMG. Jay Z, Kanye, Big Sean. Run DMC, Drake, and Pearl Jam. Those are just the names that stick out. Right in front of the rocky steps was unreal.

Jay z brought so many artist that mad the event worth the all day wait. The overall day was ok I wish they had more activities but the beer tasting was fun and overall had a great time

I was very skeptical at first when so many different genres of music were all going to be in one place but out of all of the concerts I've been to this is by far the best concert/festival I've ever been to in my life

Best Concert Festival I've ever attended. Jay-Z was awesome

There was too much good music to handle. Guest appearances and the atmosphere made it the best event I have ever attended.

Go USA :) Go USA :) Go USA :) everything made in the USA is the best everything made in the USA is the best everything made in the USA is the best

Amazing experience! Lots of free giveaways. The rain on Saturday didn't stop the great performances . I waited 5 hours to secure my spot to see JayZ. It was worth every minute!

Made in America was a great experience on Sunday, but the rain Saturday was a drag. It didn't have to be that way if the artists started on-time, but it seemed like one act after another started late and left people standing out in the rain getting more frustrated. Once they hit the stage, it was hot and everyone delivered. The crowd would get lost in the music, dance, sing along and just have a wild time. Noticeably absent from the lineup this year was any established rock band. A few rock acts were relegated to the Skate Stage, and when I stopped by to see 3 of them on Saturday there was literally only 10 people in front of the stage watching each band. It was pathetic. By the third time I came to that stage, the sound engineer even lost interest, left his post and there was no one monitoring the band's performance to see if there was any sound issues during their show. MIA should at least have some rock bands that are actually popular and people have heard of before. It seems like instead they just threw some unknown acts up there who are willing to play for nothing but exposure. Here are some of the previous rock bands who played Made in America: Pearl Jam, Nine Inch Nails, Kings of Leon, Coldplay, The Hives, X, Queens of the Stone Age, Gary Clark Jr, Spoon, Wavves, Modest Mouse, Death Cab for Cutie, Fitz & the Tamtrums, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, The National, City & Colour, Pissed Jeans, and Mach 22, just to name a few who have been on the bill over the years. So what happened to the credible rock acts in 2017? There was zilch. What direction is this festival taking? Are they just going to turn it into a big EDM dance party?

EXCITEMENT wonderful as usuall! jay-z was awesome.. the rain and mud made it even better!!

Great event!!! I can't wait until next year!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First time attending an outdoor festival. Mass of people but I love how each stage was in different places of the venue and each artist came on simultaneously with a few minutes to make to the next stage. Beyonce as always rocked her stage! Wish Nikki would've performed with her, overall both days was great glad I went. Only suggestion to Budweiser is to evenly stock the different flavors of your Ritas. Each day they sold out by the middle of the day.

lineup was not too great. Lots of "filler" performers and the main attraction was Beyoncé which wasn't very popular with the males. Axwell was good. Overall I would say this was a decent event. I don't plan on returning next year.

Besides the fact I got in free on Saturday and I wanted my money back because security sucks. It was awesome !! I'm so happy I got to experience this festival . Jay Z knew what he was doing the line up was amazing. Sunday was way more crowded because all of the rap artists went on that day. I got to see pretty much all my favorite people in one weekend and enjoy it with one of my best friends !! They ran out of limearitas strawberritas and Johnny apple seeds by Sunday but had endless cases of Budweiser . This was the first time I've seen Beyoncé live and it was great ! I traveled all the way from San Diego and it was well worth it !! Thank you for a great time !

I loved Made in America!!! I had the best time with my cousins. Even with the large crowd, everything was still so calm and civilized. I would definitely go back next year.

Beyoncé, and the weekend shut it down !!!! They have yet to disappoint !

I went with no expectations. The music was great, but I wasn't too impressed with anything else. I went to buy some drinks, they were warm, and the food wasn't good. I decided to eat Popsicle's and just listen to music. As long as you avoid the zombies (everyone that was high and really drunk) and just go for the music you'll enjoy yourself, because the music was great. Vic Mensa was the highlight of the weekend for me. J. Cole, Big Sean, The Weeknd, G-Eazy, Action Bronson, Banks were also amazing (in that order). Axwell &Ingrosso has a new fan after this weekend also. they are amazing.

The show was amazing this year, we'll let me rephrase, the line up was. I went to MIA last year and had the time of my life, this year while I still had a good time, there was one thing that ruined it for me. The crowd. While I met very cool people and he vibe was amazing, it was absolutely way too crowded for anyone. I feel like they tried to pull in a higher profit by selling more tickets, but this was unfair and it lost a little bit of it specialty.

Best 2 days of my life! Loved all the artists, food was awesome, and the people were amazing! Currently in post festival depression

I was extremely nervous about this festival after reading reviews from the past but let me be the first to say, Jay Z & festival organizers took note!! I had a BLAST. Everything was well organized, there were an over abundance of portable toilets, plenty of water filling stations, plenty of bars to get beverages, great food. Just an excellent time. Yes, it was crowded but that only makes me proud for Jay's success. I dare not complain about that. Plus I enjoyed partying with people from all over the country. As a Tidal member, i had an excellent view on day 2 and was shaded from the sun all day. The musical acts were awesome - all of them. I found myself enjoying bands & artists I never thought I would even bother listening to. It was an awesome surprise to see Ms. Onika come onstage to perform with Meek Mill. The highlight of my weekend tho-that incomparable Queen Bey. Jeez-I have no words. I see why people call her Slayonce'. She shut that ish DOWN.

Overall I think the festival was a good experience and I can say that I did it. The only downside are probably things that are common to any festival. It was HOT as all HECK and there were very few shaded areas. Thank Goodness, I was a TIDAL subscriber so I was able to stand in a separate ( less crowded) area and had a separate entrance. The downside to this was the TIDAL area reached capacity very quickly and once you left to do anything (use the restroom , get food, etc) you were mandated to stand back in the line to get in. Regardless if someone was holding your spot or not. So you were basically a "prisoner" to that section if that is where you wanted to stay. I would strongly recommend TIDAL either giving out a certain number of wristbands and that's it OR you pay a little extra to be in that section. It was definitely a challenge esp if you were with a group of people. No one could leave unless they wanted to risk waiting in a longgggg line to get back in. So if you went to get food for your group, more than likely the food would be cold before you got back in. But it was an outdoor music festival so I am trying keep that in mind.

This music festival was one to remember. The artist performing were freaking incredible! I have never seen so many people at once and after attending the show I definitely see why it sold out.

Beyoncé had the best performance the entire weekend as expected , J cole did amazing as well as Big Sean and it was a pleasant surprise bringing Nicki out during Meek's set.

The overall experience was amazing . This was my first year attending and we had a blast . My Louisana sista, Bey, was A M A Z I N G and I really enjoyed JCole. If I were to have any suggestions , it would be for the vendors to have other options for alcohol . I'm not a beer drinker so I had to go to bars outside of the park and that wasn't fun because you can't return. The Tidal VIPs had a bar which was cool for them but not so much for us "commoners". Lol. Hope this helps ! Thank you !

I waited 12 hours to see Beyoncé . And she made sure to thank everyone who waited all day for her . you re looking to have the time of your life attend made in America! honestly the best festival I have ever attended! Great performance and amazing energy!!! all performers seemed appreciative of everyone attending the festival.

Being that it was my first time doing something like this think it was ok, a lot of walking and sun in you're face but once I got to see the performance of the ppl I wanted to see it was all worth it!!! I like how they provided fountains of water so you could refill you're water bottle or whatever you had. The only thing I totally dislike was that no one gave us the heads up of the backpacks sizes we were allowed to take in!! A lot of ppl had to leave them outside or go back and take them home. In my case we came on the metro so.... We had to choices leave them on the street or sneak them in. We got lucky and got away wt it and as soon as we entered all arounds us we seen ppl wt larger bag than us! So plz next time give us a notice as soon as we purchase the ticket in red letters plz! I must add thank you for providing approved bags for us.

The first day I spent at the main stage, as soon as the gates opened I sprinted to the barricade and stayed their for Kanye West. The acts before Kanye at the the main stage were fantastic and made the 11 hour wait much easier. Kanye's performance was amazing, I don't have words to describe it. My roommate and I ended up multiple times on the lifestream and even in the Philly Inquirer! The 2nd day I hopped from stage to stage and even started a moshpit at Danny Brown. Unfortunately the ending was a little sour as it was rained out and we had to evacuate. Missing the last 2 performers was sad, but it was all overshadowed by the 2 amazing days.

Flew in Friday ready to go, and wasn't disappointed. The festival was great as always. Though I did expect the line-up to be better, or at least equal to the past years, I understand how scheduling can be.. Had a blast in Philadelphia, Steve turned it up, Cole brought the soul, and Ye exploded. Shoutout to Jay-Z for partying with us, and bringing this festival to my hometown.

I would definitely go to MIA again. The atmosphere and the lineup were incredible. The only qualm is that the location could have been a little bit better... it was really crowded and the fountains from the art museums blocked the crowd/view. I think they should have this down at the stadium with main stage in the stadium and the other stages in the parking lots.

I always love to see a business grow and what better way to help it become better than to give you the honest truth. Pros: Great environment Great lighting Great sound Great artist although john mayor should've probably gone before weezer or Juanes because of his style of music. Sometimes it shouldn't matter leaving the best for last. It's what makes sense to the listener and not the artist. Although Kanye was amazing I don't feel like john mayor got the respect he deserved. Luckily he has a great sense of humor. Cons: Very little shades spots Bars were running out of beer. More selection of alcohol Be more clear on what cameras are prohibited because I saw more than 5 ppl with my same camera and they did not look like they worked for the event. View angle on main stage was very poor. Maybe adding a ramp, sand or some sort of material that will give the guest a proper view angle. I'm 5,7 imagine how the shorter ppl felt?

These 2 artist came on after a downpour of rain. What's a festival without a downpour? They came back on after and ripped their sets. I had an amazing time for the 2 days. This was my 3 time going and I'm going to keep going to this event it's always unforgettable.

I had a blast. Minor complaint would be area got a bit crowded at times and water was hard to come by. No shade for most of the day. Other then that I had a blast. Others complaint about the food/ports potties/booze selection but since I didn't participate in any of those activities I can't really say but the lines for food trucks and beer gardens looked ridiculous at times.

It was amazing. I had a great time and I love fact that it's in the streets of LA! It was a weekend I'll never forget

I've been to a lot of concerts and this was done pretty well for being in this location. I loved how there were screens in locations to allow people to keep watching artists. I like that artists didn't overlap so we got to see them all. Hopefully it continues. I love the different types of music. The timing between artists was perfect. It brings a wide range of fans. Definitely good festival.

Thank you for the epic weekend, even with the thunder storms we were able to rock out in the rain after a brief stop!!!

This was my 3rd year and it was great. The day 1 shows could have been better but the overall festival was really fun. The rain on day 2 was actually really fun aside from ruining my limited edition Stance Made In America socks. Can't wait for next year!

Great show. Great time. The place was packed. Everyone was cool.

My girlfriend & I are both John Mayer fans....we weren't really interested in anyone else. Needless to say he did not disappoint. He had the crowd in the palm of his hand. Loved all his stuff especially "Waitin' on the World to Change" & "Gravity"....but he also had a few surprises that showcased his love for the blues such as Muddy Water's "Hoochie Coochie Man", Otis Redding's "I've Got Dreams to Remember" & Jimi Hendrix's "All Along the Watchtower". It was an awesome show!

You sat and watched as close as you wanted to since it was at grand park. There was 3 stages. But I loved that they has big screens and speakers everywhere just in case you didn't want to be with the humongous crowd. I saw weezer rise against , Kanye, Juanes cypress hill, Steve Aoki. I wish there was more food trucks. Lines were so long. water was reasonably priced not an arm or leg. The beer gardens were cool I got there pretty early so we were able to drink with no waiting time. Overall a great event, great people and great vibes.

I loved going to this event! So many great bands there! A lot of people, but it was an awesome experience!!! If you ever get a chance to go, I recommend you take it!! SchoolBoy a and the rest of the t.d.e people were great!!! They pumped everyone up!!

This is my 3rd year attending the Made in America festival in Philadelphia and I have to say they are going 3 for 3 in my book. As always the line up is stellar, set times staggered so there is the ability to see [almost] everyone you want, and and the over all atmosphere just enjoyable. There was a terrible storm on Sunday mid-evening and the festival's organizers handled it superbly! Everyone was evacuated for 45mins or so until lightening and thunder passed, then doors were reopened, the curfew was extended, and the schedule rearranged so all artists who had not preformed yet were able to do so for their allotted time. My friends and I could have cared less about the rain - in fact Girl Talk in the rain was probably one of the highlights because we couldn't believe they had actually pulled off a successful rain delay. The only negative was they ran out of Bud Light for Sunday. Budweisers are just too heavy for all day drinking, but it was a minor cost to pay for a fabulous weekend.

It was amazing festival !!!!!! The people was so friendly, the artist was really good, exept for my part Kanye west I was kinda disappointed... But whatever was a really good festival, even if it was raining and we had a storm ! If I can I really do again in my life !

The Budweiser Made In America Festival was by far the greatest music experience that I have ever attended. The sound was perfect, the acts were incredible, and nothing major that was bad happened. But most importantly, I was able to see my idol Kanye West rip the stage from 20 feet away and that was the most amazing expierence of my life. As long as Jay Z curates this festival and its in LA, I will be attending every year.

Good Festival. Could be more organized, but I expected it since this is the first year in LA. Glad they added Kanye and Iggy otherwise it wouldn't have been worth it. If it was more $ than I wouldn't go. The price point was good. It didn't feel crowded, only during Kanyes set but that was expected.

The power of Music bringing people together is amazing. MIA was not only great for Los Angeles but great for humanity!

I had a terrible time at MIA. Going to the bathroom was a hassle. None of the vendors walking around had water. Only beer. I definitely won't be going again.

Im not really a fan of most of the music there besides Nine Inch Nails, Queens of the Stone Age. I do appreciate the diversity of the music at the festival though, I love things like this. My only main complaint is the size of the festival grounds. This was the most over packed festival I have ever been to. There was no lawn you could just chill out on. The crowds from every stage were coming all the way back to the vendors, porta potties and where people are walking. They need to make the area bigger or find a new place because that part was crazy. Besides that though, it was a great festival, great vibes, lots of fun, cool skatepark stage too. Nine Inch Nails sounded amazing, Trent is still on point and has energy for these songs =] Queens sounded great as well, I missed most of there set though unfortunately.

I attended this festival last year when the amount of tickets sold was 50,000. They added 10,000 more tickets to this years festival, without adding any room. The Benjamin Franklin Parkway is only so big. GREED!!! An additional $1.2+ million dollars is a lot of money but at the cost of making this festival a trash heap. There was more than 60,000 people there, I had seen multiple people sneaking in and security allowing them in since they were the homies. The festival had 3 water refill stations last year, this year there was only one!! And the line for that took 2 hours!!! And on Sunday they shut the whole thing down!! When water costs $4 a bottle, water refill stations are mandatory. On Saturday they had run out of food, beer, water by 7 pm!! If you wanted beer, food, a bathroom, you were stuck waiting in line for a good 30 minutes to an hour at times. This event was extremely understaffed. There was no one picking up trash during the festival which caused all of the trash to overflow and tripping hazards everywhere! I have been to Coachella, SXSW, Lollapalooza, The Gathering, Bonaroo, and this is by far the worst festival. The merchandise was horrible, no shirt had the line up on it, who does that?They got greedy by adding 10,000 extra tickets without adding more security, cleaning crew, space, food, water, beer, and merch.

Loved it. Extremely organized line-ups. Calvin Harris should've had a bigger stage his set caused a lot of mayhem :/ . Overall I loved it. The weather was too hot smh. No one has control over that but still lol. $11 for $2 Lime-ARitas tho? Shame on you Shawn Carter.

I actually was not planning to come to this festival but Coachella turned out to be very expensive and Philly is only 3 hours from where I live (long island). It turned to be one of the best desicisons I've made this year. The festival was SO much fun. Weather was perfect and the crowd was fun. The line were long and food and beverages were pricey but all of that was expected. The performances were great and it was a perfect experience for my first music festival can't wait to do it again!!

It was a great two-days; very tiring, but all so worth it.

Beyonce stole the show on Saturday. Stunning performance. Sunday was unforgettable. Miguel, Solange, Macklemore and especially Calvin Harris were all on top of their game. Would definitely go back and do it all again

From Beyonce, to the black hipsters and nine inch nails. Everything was amazing. Wish Jay-Z wouldv'e came out and addressed the masses but seeing Beyonce was enough!

This was my first experience & I had a blast. Def would buy V.I.P tickets every year.

Great Vibe. No violence. Friendly people. A tad crowded in some areas. Will do VIP next year. Great Performances!! But a little disappointed that there were no surprise guests.

Great line up! Price is fair for the amount of artist there! Food is a little expensive. Put more water stations in or let people bring more water.

This festival is for a very particular person. It was very hot and there was limited shade for relief. You can't leave the park once u enter, so you're stuck their all day with 7 dollar water bottles and budweiser and some also expensive foodt trucks. The event should have had the acts on one stage because people were constantly moving back and forth trying to get to each stage for the performanaces. I do think there should have been more hip acts and the performances should have been grouped by genre

Both days were incredible. All concerts were awesome and Philly was a great hosting city. I came all the way from TX to experience the festival and it was worth every penny. Good work Jay Z

I had a great time! Never did I think I would have the chance to see Beyonce!!!I had a front row view of her performance. I'm not even going to mention the other entertainment. Except FlavaFlav caught me jamming to all his songs because I was the only old head in the front row. I came home with the set list!

He braced the stage with his West Coast Swagg and had the crowd turnt up to 15. I love him!!

I've been to many edm shows in the past few years and I am confident to say that Calvin Harris' set on Sunday night was one of the best I have ever seen. Deadmau5 could have been way better in my opinion. NERO absolutely murdered his set. GTA and TJR were awesome additions to start off the crowd before the big names. Porter Robinson was amazing obviously. Missed Wolfgang and I am not happy about it. Kendrick Lamar was dooooope. Suggestions for next year: Dillon Francis, Zeds Dead, Steve Aoki, Knife Party, Tommy Trash, Dada Life, Bingo Players, & Bassnectar.

Made in America 2013 was a blast. The day 1 shows were a lil weak but there was enough to always have something to watch and definitly a lot of fun. Day 2 killed it never a slow moment all the way up 2 the NIN(front row!!!)phoenix was tight so was maclemore and Ryan Lewis , public enemy, deadmaus, queens of the Stone Age , 2 chainz u get the point ill b there next year n u should 2!

My friends and I came out from NYC for 2 days of Made In America and it was even better than I imagined it would be!! I loved how big the venue was and the artists were the perfect selection!!! My favorites were Beyonce, Wiz Khalifa, Imagined Dragons, Pheonix, and Kendrick Lamar. Not to mention the food selection was incredible!!! Thank you Budweiser and Jay-Z!!! Can we see Drake next year???

The concert was overall the greatest experience i had this summer i went with my boyfriend and we had an amazing time. Asap Rocky was a little late but he still put on a great performance and we rocked out, 2 Chaniz, Public Enemy and Miguel were awesome. My favorite was Kendrick Lamar, Wiz Khalifa, Phoenix and Beyonce. They killed the stage i had so much fun watching Wiz he really does a great performance. The beer was 11 bucks which i expected the food was actually good and priced at what i expected 6$ and up. my only dislike was some rude people complaning about people stepping on their blankets, people we are at a concert stand up when performers come out or move all together if you dont care to see the performer. I still enjoyed myself and ignored the few rude people that were there but everybody was really there to have a great time. Im more of a Hip Hop RnB person but i enjoyed Deadmau5 and Phoenix as well as Calvin Harris. Bring wipes, towels, blanket to sit on and hand sanitizer. I brought water bottles but the lines were always too long to actually get the free water so i just brought water which were 4 bucks not too bad. Cant wait til next year hopefully there will be some RnB and pop like Jazmin Sullivan or Rhianna or JT.

Day 2 was non stop fun. From Robert Delong to Kendrick to wiz to Miguel.

I could not have asked for a more perfect line up of artists for this year, I loved every minute of it, I can't wait to go back next year.

this is my second time going, it is a great festival! They always have great artist, And new ones that I'm not familiar with. It is very busy though, which was expected.

JayZ did a great job with this event! I was truly amazed with the outcome.

The first day opened with Gary Clark Jr. who was awesome, watch out for him. MMG killed it after, Meek Millz comin home. Jay Electronic blew my mind with his lyrics. Skrillex was sick, first time I've seen him n loved it. I kept going between the two main stages so only watched these acts. Couldn't ask for better hip-hop acts to finish off day 1 Jay-Z, Kanye, and the rest of G.O.O.D Music (especially PushaT). When Kanye came out I lost it, best artist out right now imo. Made it out for the Hives on day 2, and I'm glad I caught them. They were the 4th the best act I saw all weekend (Jay, PJ, Drake, Hives), they had so much energy. Wish they had more time to play. Caught RunDMC, classic. Drake was sick. Pearl Jam enough said, they never dissapoint... Wish I could've caught Odd Future, Dirty Projectors, Santigold, n Gary Clark Jr again. Maybe some other time.

The best time I've EVER had!!!! I'm so glad I was there to witness history in the making!!!!

This event was awesome. There was something for everyone. The only thing I didn't like was how HIGH the prices were for everything and they didn't even let you bring your own water in. So everyone was forced to buy $4 water or something even more expensive. Other than that, the performances were great and the atmosphere was wonderful.

It was fun really messy but despite the terrible weather I still had fun

I would recommend allowing umbrellas if bad weather occurs. I had a security guard aggressively approach me inappropriately for having an umbrella in the pouring rain. Very disappointed by that. She grabbed me she cursed at me. Very unpleasant. I suggest better training or different strategies with approaching concert goers.

other than the rain, the concert was great! No issies. security was excellent.

To be fair, the first day was all rain, and it was absolutely miserable. I think there were a ton of technical issues because the set times were delayed. There were stages with way too much downtime without music. Most of the time, we would expect music to still be playing while we wait, but it was pretty disappointing to be in a music festival without constant music. Philly itself is a terrible location to visit. That's a different story for another day. The second day was much better, but really only 3-4 performances were worth seeing, and 2 of them overlapped. I thought this was very poor planning since, again, there were better time slots that they could have used them in. I wouldn't go back. That's for sure.

Was my first festival and I had a great time, plan on going back. Great acts

Overall the experience was unforgettable but the rain Saturday made it cold, wet, and muddy (but neither you or I could change that). I enjoyed all the concerts I went too and felt like there was a good mix of everything, and if you didn't like any artist playing at the time there was plenty of things to do to supplement like food trucks, rides. and vendor tents.

Jay Z and the Chainsmokers were worth the price of admission alone. Not even the rain Saturday could ruin the fun. The crowd was electric. All of the performers bought it.

J cole made the first day worth every penny with his real interactions with the crowd besides the song

I loved how I could see a ton of my favorite artists in one place over the course of 2 days. It was a great weekend all together, but the rain was annoying.

Do not get me wrong, Made in America is a eventful weekend filled with a lot to do. There is one thing to keep in mind though. If you are out of high school I do not recommend going to this festival at all. I went last year heading into my Senior year of high school and had a blast but this year me being in my first year out of high school not such a great time. It is frankly such an awful experience if you are 18 and over. I would highly recommend next time on the advertising put 17 and under only.

They should allow a sitting area where ticket holders can sit . The event was nice but it was no where to sit which made it really bad and tiring.

it was an amazing performance weekend and the activities kept time going loved it

The artist list was amazing. You can't go wrong with Jay Z, J Cole, Solange, Little Dragon, Cardi B, Jorja Smith etc......but this is probably not the move for the 40+ crowd to attend with college students. They were very rude and extremely busy bodies, cutting in front of you 100% of the time, loud, drunk and just not respectful of the space. I did meet a few youngsters that were very nice (not all were obnoxious) but the constant traveling in groups of 5 holding hands and trampling on our feet was overwhelming. It rained the first day so that was bad enough. I often wish I had a VIP pass so I could just chill with my husband and watch the amazing curated music. The food was terrible and expensive as well as the adult beverages. I traveled a long way and had a 2 out of 10 experience. The venue was very nice and a perfect place, just the crowd and the weather spoiled it for me.

The bathrooms were disgusting. It was raining so it was a little hectic but there were tons of underage kids drinking and getting plastered. It was so dirty everywhere. I would NOT go again.

Travel from Minneapolis solo and I had amazing time and I met tons of great people.

When your best friend invites you to Made In America Fest... YOU GO!!! Flew from Bermuda to Charlotte and road tripped from there to Philly & it was worth every adventure we had! Will definitely be back!

My first MIA , and unfortunetly it rained but J Cole and Jay Z were AMAZING! So it deff made it up for it. The line up for 2017 was amazing! I ordered my tickets a week before the event and i payed the 2 day shipping, and a few days before leaving to Philly i had to contact Front Gate tickets to be able to receive a tracking number, i feel like this should have happened when the item was shipped. Getting someone to help me through the Ticketmaster customer service phone number was imposible. So i was very upset that the automated service was "trying to help me" but nothing that i was calling about qualified as an option. The stages were a bit too close, so you could be at a stage listening to an artist and the noise from other stages would transfer over. Navigating the festival was a bit confusing, there was wayy too many people and the stages kept showing the lineup at each stage but it kept dissapearing so it was very confusing. The map had the same color for 2 stages in the same color of ink. Also, a couple of people cancelled or didnt show up (wiz kid) so waiting and waiting for an artist with no communication and another artist showing up without having no idea who they were. Every artist with the exception of a few were just late. So just a bit disorganized. I did love the food options which were amazing, and the rides were fun as well. Oh i also feel that more could have been done to navigate the rain. Complentary rain capes? The amount of mud was discusting too. A lot of people tripped and fell including myself.

The only good thing was seeing jay z. The bathroom situation was the worst and all the underage people there was even worse. I saw a 16 yr old throw up on a total stranger. This event should 21 and over.

Jay-Z and J.Cole killed it so much fun to be a part of

Jayz is the main event anywhere he is. JCole was expressive. I am now a Chainsmoker fan. The whole environment at Made in America Festival is always positive. People from all walks of life enjoying so many different types of music. JayZ envents are always positive. People just come to have a good time. I love it! I'm coming every year.

Always a favorite festival of mine!! I go every year!
