Jay-Z to Headline 2-Day Music Festival in Philadelphia

Will Beanie Sigel be added to the line-up?

Jay-Z will headline a 2-day music festival in Philadelphia this Labor Day Weekend, he'll reveal in an announcement expected to be made today.

The NY Times is reporting that the rapper and first-time father will also curate the event, as he's handpicked at least 28 acts to perform, forming an eclectic lineup of “rock, hip-hop, R&B, Latin and dance."

Produced by Live Nation, and named the Budweiser Made In America Music Festival, a portion of proceeds from the festival will go to various local non-profits.

The party goes down at Fairmount Park on September 1 and 2. Tickets will go on sale at Ticketmaster and Live Nation on May 23. 

This may explain that mysterious little video he posted to his Life+Times website last week.
