Would like to be able to leave and come back. Don't drink budweiser, next year offer a happy hour or stocked bar section.

Props to the city for keeping this event under such great control! The amentities here were also well stacked, never had to wait for a bathroom, or too long for a beer, which is crucial in my book. Also the stage set ups were very logical, the lineup was amazing and the sound was great. I'm really looking forward to next year!

Exceptionally well run festival- especially as an inaugural event I was truly impressed. The acts were very diverse and really great...you could see almost everything because it was all timed out well, and everything was super punctual- no dying in the heat waiting for acts to appear. I do wish there were more female performers--I went on saturday and the only female I saw was Janelle Monae- but otherwise it was awesome!

This being the first music festival of its kind in a venue that has been used for concerts before, it went off without so much as a hiccup. It sprinkled a lil on Sunday and went away and weather was great. The venue was awesome, crazy to see historical buildings while you're getting buck wild to MMG. I would have appreciated a different setup for the main stage with more screens towards the back. Also, the 2nd stage needed to be angled better in order for a larger crowd to gather. This festival was better fitted to handle all the attendees when it came to the bathroom situation. They were clean and not overflowing(Coachella's major issue). The line up was decent, not the best but worth it since i only paid $99. Depending on the line up next year I will be making a trip back east.

the site was spacious, lots of port a potties...all of the shows you want to see were easy to see if you are near. MMG did a full nice show with a lil Pop that mixed in. DeAngelo did a lot of his classics! Jay's show, he brought out everyone cept Bey (she was backstage) Fireworks at the end!? NICE! #somuchfun
The only reason I did not give it a 5 stars review is because they did not have any budlight platinum avail and what they did have was $11 for big ol can.

Everything about this two day festival was amazing! Jay-Z not only killed it on stage but he did a hell of a job putting together the entire festival. The lineups on both days were awesome and having the Philadelphia Art Museum, with the stairs from the famous Rocky scene, as the back drop for the main stage was a great idea.

I went only to see Pearl Jam as they have not been to Philly in almost 3 years. They did not disappoint!
I wish they could have played longer but had to stick to a strict 11 pm curfew.
I also caught some of Drakes show. He was ok, not a rap fan and could not understand what he was saying.

I would have preffered a rock band to open for Pearl Jam.
The big screens were nice and the main stage was impressive.
They had lots of bathrooms but there were still long lines and they were GROSS!

I appreciate the attempt to showcase all different styles of music, but it kind of fell flat. This being JayZ's festival, we thought the lineup would have been better and the fact that it took so long for them to release the lineup was confusing. Also, charging $11 for a Bud? Come on. It's Budweiser's event. That was just a ripoff

I had an absolute blast at this festival. The range of different performers was great and everyone I saw I liked (except Jay-electronica, but that may just be personal preference). I would highly recommend this festival to a friend and if they have it next year I would definitely go. Also, the crowd was very well-behaved (only saw 1 guy get kicked out) which was nice.
Beer prices were high, but I think if they were any lower the crowd may have gotten too rowdy. I also never went to the DJ tent because it was always too crowded when I tried to go. But all in all the concert was awwweeeesssssooooommmmmmeeeee.

Great time. Every event and stage appearance by each band was perfectly coordinated and time so that I got to see them all. With the exception of a giant face that came on screen and talked about voting while taking away precious music time it was awesome. Jay-Z and Pearl Jam really know how to entertain.

The performances were good but the tickets were misleading. They made it seem like there would be seating and there wasn't. The second day of the concert we brought our blanket to sit on the ground. The projectors could have been higher for the people who were sitting on the ground. The portapoddie clean up was horrible. I don't think I will go to an event like this again. It really on depends on the artists that show up. For anyone going to an event like this bring a backpack with a blanket, hand sanitizer, towel, baby wipes, and a camel pack. Also pain pills and sunglasses.
