Jay Z also announced that proceeds from this year’s festival will go to the ACLU of Pennsylvania and United Way of Greater Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey. The hip hop heavyweight always finds a way to smartly immerse and display his Roc Nation artists each year at this concert. This year is no exception. Hov also made it a family affair by enlisting his sister-in-law, R&B star, and recent Grammy winner Solange to grace the Benjamin Franklin Parkway stage. The Made In America Festival has always prided itself on being a multi-genre and musically inclusive soiree. This year’s diverse and eclectic lineup representing pop, electronica, hip hop, and several international acts highlights that mantra.
