The 2023 edition of the Made in America, the festival JAY-Z has been holding each year for a decade in Philadelphia, has been called off due to "severe circumstances outside of production control." 

The announcement from organizers states, "This decision has been difficult and has not been made lightly nor without immense deliberation."

All tickets will be refunded. 

Scheduled for September 2 to 3, this year's festival had SZA and Lizzo lined up as the main headliners. Additionally, there were plans for a joint performance by Mase and Cam'ron, along with appearances by Ice Spice, Miguel, Metro Boomin and various other artists. 

This comes as Lizzo faces a lawsuit from some of her former dancers alleging sexual harassment and a hostile work environment. She has denied all allegations
