Drake, Run DMC, Jill Scott Added To Jay-Z's Made In America Festival
8/3/2012 9:45 AM ET

Drake, Run DMC and Jill Scott have been confirmed for the bill of Jay-Z's Made In America Festival. The two-day concert takes over Philadelphia's Benjamin Franklin Parkway for the first weekend of September (1-2).

Run-D.M.C.'s performance is the first for Joseph "Run" Simmons and Darryl McDaniels since the 2002 murder of their longtime DJ, Jam Master Jay.

The Drizzy announcement has caused speculation given Young Money boss Lil Wayne's well-known Jigga diss on "It's Good," and the fact the Drake is currently trying to get out of his Young Money contract.

Previously announced acts include Chris Cornell, Gary Clark Jr., the Hives, D'Angelo, Rick Ross, Wale, Meek Mill, Odd Future, and Rita Ora.

Jay-Z will headline Saturday and Pearl Jam will close out the festival on Sunday. Single-day tickets are now on sale via Ticketmaster.
