#MadeInAmerica Festival Lineup Released: Beyoncé & The Weeknd Will Headline

The lineup for the annual Budweiser Made in America festival was announced this morning, revealing that Beyoncé and The Weeknd will be the two headliners.

This is the fourth time the annual festival will be held in Philadelphia over Labor Day weekend. The dates for this year's performances are Sept. 5 and 6, according to Rolling Stone.

Jay-Z, who is the founder of the festival, has been known to headline the festival in the past, and this year, who better than his wife, the Queen Bey, to take the main spot? She was also the main act in 2013, so this will be her second time headlining.

J.Cole, Axwell & Ingrosso, Nick Jonas, Bassnectar, Big Sean, Future, Meek Mill, Earl Sweatshirt and G-Eazy are just a few of the elite performers among the two-day lineup. This is the first year that the festival does not have a rock act in the headlining spot, according to Philly.com. But with Jay-Z as the founder, Beyonce constantly proving she's on top, and the major year The Weeknd has had, it's a no- brainer that these two headline the show.

The lineup is definitely more hip-hop- and r&b-based than in past years, but there are still a slew of rockers, including Modest Mouse and Death Cab for Cutie, that will hit the stage.

In 2014, Jay-Z announced that he would be bringing the festival to Los Angeles for the first time during the same weekend, the Los Angeles Times reported at the time. The L.A.-based 2014 festival had huge headliners including Kanye West, John Mayer and Imagine Dragons, but it just wasn't as popular as the Philly festival and it will not be returning to California this year.

An exclusive American Express ticket pre-sale for the festival started this morning at 10 a.m. on the Made in America site, according to the festival's official Facebook page. Regular ticket sales will begin Monday June 29 at noon.
