Pearl Jam, Skrillex, Drake a part of Jay-Z’s Made in America festival

The lineup for Jay-Z’s Made in America festival has begun to be released. Jay-Z officially announced “Phase 1” of the artists who are scheduled to perform, and some of the names should make the event even more attractive to fans.

Some of the bigger names who will be performing include Pearl Jam, D’Angelo, Skrillex, Afrojack, Santigold, Drake, Odd Future and Mike Snow. They will be joined by Rick Ross’ Mayback Music Group, Janelle Monae, Prince Royce, Calvin Harris, Dirty Projectors, Savoy, Passion Pit, The Knocks and Rita Ora.

Jay-Z will soon release more participating artists in a “Phase 2” announcement soon.

The Made in America festival will be held on September 1-2 in Philadelphia Fairmount Park, with portions of the proceeds donated the greater area of Philadelphia’s United Way. Tickets went on sale this morning at 10 am.
