TIDAL is once again the official livestream partner for the Made in America Festival, which is back in Philadelphia this year with an expectedly stacked lineup.
All three stages at the festival—Rocky, Liberty, and TIDAL—will be available to stream for free via TIDAL and the streaming platform’s YouTube channel on Sept. 4 and Sept. 5.
“This year will be like no other, as Made in America celebrates 10 years of music history making moments,” festival founder Jay-Z said earlier this year when announcing the event’s return. “The artists’ performances will be even bigger and Cause Village will host a wider range of amazing philanthropic organizations. We look forward to sharing incredible memories with our festival attendees and the city of Philadelphia.”
The 2021 edition of MIA is headlined by Lil Baby on Saturday and Justin Bieber on Sunday. Other confirmed performers include Megan Thee Stallion, Young Thug, Lil Durk, Griselda, Kehlani, Roddy Ricch, Bobby Shmurda, Doja Cat, Fivio Foreign, Moneybagg Yo, Baby Keem, Tinashe, Fivio Foreign, and more.
In an interview with Complex, Roc Nation CEO Desiree Perez explained how involved Jay-Z is in the process of putting the festival together. “He curates the lineups. Jay is the person responsible for who performs. From a music perspective, he is also very involved in the creation of our stages,” she said. “Our stages are brand-free because the artist is a brand. He’s involved in that, the food, the look of everything. There hasn’t been a year where he hasn’t come on the grounds. He comes days before and stays for a couple of rehearsals, goes through the entire festival, and just looks at different areas to see if he wants something moved or changed. He makes all kinds of recommendations, and we make it happen.”
In order to gain entry into the festival in person, prospective attendees are required to show proof of a negative COVID-19 test result or printed proof of full vaccination. Masks are also required on festival grounds. To speed up this part of the process, the MIA team has linked up with CLEAR, the company behind the oft-touted Health Pass technology. Physical proof will also be accepted at entry.
