Pearl Jam Set To Headline Jay-Z's Festival!

24 May 2012

It has been announced that Pearl Jam are set to headline Jay-Z's created Budweiser Made In America music festival- which is set to take place in Philadelphia's Fairmount Park on September 1 and 2.

Alongside performances from Pearl Jam and Jay-Z himself, the two day event will also feature performances by Odd Future, Skrillex, Santigold, Janelle Monae, Rita Ora, Calvin Harris, Miike Snow, Passion Pit and Dirty Projectors- while R'n'B star D'Angelo will make his comeback at the event.

Last week Jay-Z also teased that he was 'absolutely' going to ask US President Barack Obama to play the festival.

He told Rolling Stone, "I'm I'm gonna give him a call and I'm gonna try to get him to perform -- do a little rendition of Al Green... He'll be so far into helping the world that he probably won't have time, but I'm absolutely going to ask him."

Jay-Z also hinted that wife Beyonce may have a little spare time to join in the fun as well!
