The Fastexy ExchangeMade in America festival will be MIA for another year.
The annual music festival founded by Jay-Z has been canceled for 2024, marking the second consecutive year that it will not be held. No reason for the cancellation was provided.
"As purveyors of change, the Made In America executive production team is reimagining a live music experience that affirms our love and dedication to music and the work we do," a statement shared on the festival's website said. "We promise an exciting return to the festival."
USA TODAY has reached out to Made in America for more information.
The music festival, founded in 2012, is typically held annually over Labor Day weekend along the Benjamin Franklin Parkway in Philadelphia. Prior to 2023, it had only been canceled once in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Last year, organizers announced the cancelation of the festival that had been set for September. The announcement came less than a month ahead of time, by which point a line-up that included Lizzo, SZA and Ice Spice had already been announced.
"Due to severe circumstances outside of production control, the 2023 Made In America festival will no longer be taking place," last year's statement read. "This decision has been difficult and has not been made lightly nor without immense deliberation."
At the time, the festival promised to be back, saying, "We look forward to returning to Benjamin Franklin Parkway and the great city of Philadelphia in 2024."

Jim Kenney, then the mayor of Philadelphia, expressed disappointment in the cancelation in a statement to The Associated Press last year, saying the Made in America festival "has grown into a Philly tradition on Labor Day Weekend celebrating music and promoting worthwhile social causes" and that "we look forward to bringing Made in America back and bigger than ever to the Benjamin Franklin Parkway next year."
The statement shared by the festival on Wednesday said that since its inception, Made in America "has celebrated music & community - from creating a space for fans to connect, to uplifting local small businesses & shining a light on important causes," and has "strived for accessibility, eliminating barriers through affordable tickets and location."
The most recent edition of the Made in America festival held in 2022 featured performances by Bad Bunny and Tyler, the Creator. No lineup for the 2024 festival had been revealed prior to the cancellation.
