In an unexpected turn of events, the eagerly anticipated Made In America festival is no longer on the cards for this year. The festival organizers have officially announced the cancellation of the 2023 event, attributing the decision to what they’ve termed as “severe circumstances.”

The lineup that had music enthusiasts buzzing was nothing short of spectacular, boasting names like Metro Boomin, Ice Spice, Latto, Coi Leray, Doechii, Mase, and Cam’ron. Headlining the star-studded event were SZA and Lizzo, whose presence added an extra layer of excitement.

Notably, Lizzo has been facing allegations regarding her treatment of former dancers, a controversy that has garnered attention. While Lizzo firmly denies these claims, it remains uncertain whether this situation played a role in the festival’s unfortunate cancellation.

A snippet from the festival’s official statement reads, “Regrettably, due to unforeseen circumstances beyond our control, the Made In America festival scheduled for 2023 will not be taking place.” The statement further emphasized the gravity of the decision, highlighting the extensive consideration that went into making it.

Assuring disappointed fans, the organizers express their commitment to bringing back the festival experience to Philly next year. Additionally, those who had purchased tickets are being offered full refunds as a gesture of goodwill.
