Curated by world renowned rapper Jay Z in 2012, Made in America Festival sets out to encompass a vast array of different musical genres in one of the most historical cities in the US, Philadelphia. This past Labor Day marked 3 years of this iconic festival and held such acts as Kayne West, Tiesto, Chromeo, and Tommy Trash. Here are 10 iconic shots that portray the weekend:

10. Gloomy Sky Over Heavy Bass

Absolutely love this shot of Baauer at the Freedom Stage during day one. His graphics projected to the crowd were comical in the least and his set was FULL of bass!

9. Scream-o Face!

Cut Snake was by far the most energetic performance and this photo of “fish” screaming on the decks to the crowd shows how passionate he is. Several onstage appearances were made by Fish!

8. I Repeat, This is Not a test!

The crowd was electric during Tommy Trash. Around 10 minutes into his set it started down pouring but that didn’t stop the crowd from enjoying his performance.

This photo of Will Sparks showing off his muscles to the whole crowd is priceless. His headphones covered his eyes during a lot of the performance making him look similar to Geordi La Forge from Star Trek.
