The Budweiser Made in America Music Festival dealt with some legal problems. Police made several arrests, and 6 were for felony narcotics. It is common to have some security issues at a large event like a music festival. Despite concertgoers in trouble with law enforcement, the show was a success. The festival is being held in Philadelphia and Los Angeles, where arrests were made.

Jay Z, the rap mogul founded the Budweiser Made in America Festival in 2012. It was held at the Benjamin Franklin Parkway in Philadelphia, and was a major success, generating millions of dollars for the city. The event features several genres of music, including rock, pop, and R&B. In 2014, it was decided that the festival would be held simultaneously in Los Angeles as well. Thousands of people attended both shows, excited to see their favorite artists live.

Both events went as planned, although there were concerns about the Los Angeles festival and what the impact could be. Mayor Eric Garcetti supported the Made in America Music Festival, saying “There is no question there will be an economic benefit for the city.” Major performers like Rita Ora and Iggy Azalea took the stage in sweltering heat to an enthusiastic crowd. Over 34,000 people attended and most were well behaved. Live Nation, the promoter paid the security costs to ensure the festival went smoothly.

However, there were some in trouble with the law. The Los Angeles police were on the scene and 29 arrests were made. Some attending the concert were given medical attention, though nothing serious was reported. The two-day music festival was held at Grand Park and seen as a welcome event for Labor Day weekend.  The lineup included Imagine Dragons, Schoolboy Q, and John Mayer. Despite the arrests, both festivals were a success, drawing thousands in amidst the heat.
