I went to Made in America back in 2020, and let me just say; it was an experience. It's important to remember to take care of yourself and stay hydrated and find an excellent place to sit. I had only been there for 30 seconds before I saw people pass out on the lawn. It's an all-day affair, so you gotta be wise with how you use up all your energy.
I know it may be tempting to save all your energy for the main acts that don't go on until later into the night; all we can tell you is to drink a Redbull (or two after drinking plenty of water) cause these 5 acts are worth getting there early to see!
