Jay Z and Desiree Perez created the music festival called Made in America. It features five stages and a mix of hip hop, pop-rock, and electronic music. Headliners include Lil Baby, Megan Thee Stallion, Justin Beiber. Roc Nation and Made in America are following the trends of other major concert promoters., including Coachella and Stagecoach. They required event attendees to comply with vaccination and mask mandates.
