Pearl Jam, D'Angelo, and Philly-raised Santigold have been confirmed among artists performing at the Budweiser Made in America Festival which Jay-Z and Mayor Nutter announced one week ago at the Art Museum.
The two-day concert festival takes place Sept. 1 and Sept. 2 along the Benjamin Franklin Parkway.
A screen capture of what appears to be a Ticketmaster goof made its way around Facebook over the weekend.
Cold Pizza Band originally posted a photo, seemingly a premature Ticketmaster listing that named artists such as those above, along with Skrillex, Afrojack, Odd Future, Miike Snow as performing at the festival.
LiveNation is expected to announce the full roster today, and spokespeople for the concert promoter didn't immediately return a request for comment this morning.
Tickets, which include a $99 two-day pass option, are to go on sale Wednesday at Ticketmaster.com and LiveNation.com.
UPDATE: The Dirty Projectors, X, Janelle Monae, Maybach Music (featuring Rick Ross, North Philly's Meek Mill and Wale) and Passion Pit are among other artists LiveNation has announced though the complete line-up has yet to be revealed. Drake, who was included among artists on the Ticketmaster goof, has not yet been confirmed, but that could change, we're told. Also, not yet confirmed is Beyonce, though Jay-Z hinted last week that he wanted his wife to perform.
Obama rally just as most predicted. Shouldn't the Obama campaign pay for it?— Phillies2008WSChamps- Pearl jam and Jay-z go together like oil and water. I'm still staying away....i'll be on vacation anyway AND no one should have to pay for what should be a FREE concert. i'm sure certain folks are already printing up fake tickets and finding ways to skirt the costs and make money for themselves.— Paul1215
- PJ and Jay-Z for $99??? Maybe if it was the year 1999! lol.— KingOfPhilly
- SKRILLEX? Really. That noise will break all the windows within 2 miles of this event.— discobiscuit
- Same weekend Ted Nugent will headline a show in Mitt Romneys beachfront house in La Jolla, California. Tickets will be priced at pocket money - $10,000.— agreed
- This comment has been deleted.— Owatagoofiam
- LOL exactly! They might even be able to have ice cream--only vanilla though. :-)
- I love Drake, Santigold & Pearl Jam. I'm looking forward to this!! So glad I'm not a narrow-minded, Obama-obsessed jerk like some of you. Live a little!!
- Pearl Jam Nice.. always wanted to see Skrillex since my son turned me onto them. If this is the real list, PJ is worth the ticket. Look like I'm in Obama campaign raiser or not. Man, some of you nit wits need lives.— Jkitty
- Skrillex is a one man music producer and its nitwit not nit wit you nitwit. And you've always wanted to see him... really, since all of last year when he hit it big? — RIP Philly
- um where dose the article mention obama?— Phila26
- paid tickets to stand in a city street? what about those that live in art museum area and fairmount? do they have to pay because they will hear the music from their houses? do the proceeds go to the philadelphia school district?— wilcowaits
- It's really the Obama haters who are just plain ridiculous anymore. It's a freakin' music festival, one which will probably give Philly some positive exposure. Not to mention it's something good for tourist dollars, as it'l take place on a holiday weekend. I love to see concerts again on the Parkway. Yet leave it to the haters to bring in Obama's name when it's not even necessary. Miserable human beings the haters are.— beegal99
Two day passes are $99 - not bad. Live Nation has VIP Passes at $699. Of course, they are the best seats. $99 buys you a place to stand all day far from the stage.— swimfishie- Philly412-Oh yea da wolf gang gonna shake up mad headz !!
