Philadelpheia (Top40 Charts / Budweiser Made In America) Today, Shawn "JAY Z" Carter, Budweiser and United Way of Greater Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey and Live Nation announced the line-up of the 2013 "Budweiser Made In America" music festival.

Performers will appear across three stages on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway in Philadelphia's Fairmont Park on Saturday, August 31 and Sunday, September 1.

"Last year Pearl Jam, Miike Snow , Gary Clarke Jr. , Odd Future, Skrillex and Janelle Monae killed," commented JAY Z. "This year, we have Nine Inch Nails, Beyonce, Empire of the Sun, Kendrick Lamar and deadmau5. This festival is all about experiencing great music and performances as a family. I can't wait to get back to Benjamin Franklin Parkway, see some stage diving, walk through the crowds, drink a little and rock out again."

Beyonce, Nine Inch Nails, Queens Of The Stone Age, deadmau5, Phoenix, Calvin Harris , Empire Of The Sun, Imagine Dragons, Wiz Khalifa , Kendrick Lamar , Macklemore & Ryan Lewis , Miguel, Public Enemy, Solange, 2 Chainz, The Gaslight Anthem, A$ap Rocky, Walk The Moon, Nero, Feed Me, Porter Robinson , Wolfgang Gartner , Fitz & The Tantrums, Emile Sande , Haim, Schoolboy Q, AB Soul, GTA, Robert Delong , Redlight, Mord Fustang, Alunageorge, Jay Rock , Jesse Rose and TJR.

"Budweiser has a decades-long history of celebrating great American music," said Paul Chibe , Vice President of U.S Marketing at Anheuser-Busch. "A music festival is one of the most powerful ways to bring people together, so we're thrilled that once again the incomparable JAY Z and United Way have joined us to ensure that Budweiser Made in America brings a world-class line-up of music to Philadelphia this Labor Day Weekend."

This concert will benefit United Ways in Greater Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey and Lancaster County, PA. A primary goal of this music festival is to have a positive impact on the communities involved. As a result of this concert, the money invested into these communities will positively impact the education, income and health of the most vulnerable and most needy citizens in these regions.

As a result of last year's Budweiser Made in America festival, United Way of Greater Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey is investing more than $350,000 into education and talent development initiatives to enhance cradle-to-career education that ensures all students graduate high school college- or career-ready and equips individuals with the job skills and training they need to secure work that provides a family-sustaining income.

The festival also enabled United Way of Lancaster County to invest an additional $100,000 in programs and services that support learning success across the education continuum.

"The debut of the Budweiser Made In America festival last year was a huge event for music fans from all over the Northeast," said Mark Campana Co President of North American Concerts, Live Nation. "The two-day festival will once again feature an incredible and diverse roster with Beyonce, Nine Inch Nails, deadmau5 and so much more. The beautiful location of the Ben Franklin Parkway combined the wonderful spirit of Philadelphia creates a once-in-a-lifetime festival experience that no music fan can miss."

"Once again, I am thrilled to announce that the Budweiser Made in America Festival has chosen Philadelphia as its home," said Mayor Michael A. Nutter . "Last year's event, hosted on the historic and dynamic cultural corridor of the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, was a huge success, significantly impacting our local economy. The City of Philadelphia is excited to welcome back JAY Z and Made in America."

Described as "veritable music lover's paradise over Labor Day weekend," the 2012 "Budweiser Made In America" music festival featured 28 performers including JAY Z, Pearl Jam, D'Angelo, Afrojack, Jill Scott , Run DMC, Odd Future, Skrillex and Passion Pit. In its debut, the festival received rave reviews, with press such as the Philadelphia Inquirer noting, "There was no arguing with Made in America's ability to put on a diverse set of musical acts...the fest...worked as a uniquely urban, impressively varied draw for a multiracial millennial generation crowd."

Spotify is the official digital music sponsor for the Budweiser Made in America Festival and will be presenting exclusive content and producing exclusive on-site activations.

The Budweiser Made In America Festival art features a work from the acclaimed American artist, Richard Prince . The piece used is called "Untitled (The Velvets)." It was created in 2007 and is collage and acrylic on canvas.

"Budweiser Made in America" also will be available for consumers around the country to watch via live streaming. Details will be announced at a later date.
