Day 1 of the MIAFestival drew big crowds on Saturday. A PhillyFireDept official said that approximately 25,000 people were expected along the Ben Franklin Parkway tonight. Get delucadan's first-day recap here:
Made in America returned to Philadelphia on Saturday, with the Jay-Z-curated festival bringing 35,000 hip-hop fans to the Ben Franklin Parkway for the first of two days of rappers and R&B stars holding forth in what has become an end-of-summer rite of passage.
The fest drew big crowds throughout the day to the fenced-off site extending from the Philadelphia Museum of Art steps, particularly in front of the fest’s two main Rocky and Liberty stages. Dixson, who lives in Los Angeles and was born Darius Scott, has written for Chance the Rapper, Justin Bieber, and Beyoncé, with whom he cowrote “Be Alive,” the Oscar-nominated song from the Williams sisters tennis movieBut singing over a backing track and playing acoustic guitar, Dixson’s short, sweet, crowd-pleasing set, which closed with his risqué new single “Cherry Sorbet,” suggested he’s got a bright future in front of the mic as well as behind the scenes.
Ettinger was taking a break from working the School District of Philadelphia’s booth in Made in America’s Cause Village, where Headcount, Black Voters Matter, and Meet Milo’s criminal Justice group Reform also had booths. Ettinger said he had been to MIA three or four times before, and had particularly fond memories of seeing Run-DMC in 2012. This year, he said escalating gun violence in the city and the panic that caused evacuation of the Parkway on July 4, “was in the back of my mind” as he considered attending the festival this year, but “not enough to keep me from coming.”
