Cardi B and Travis Scott are heading to the City of Brotherly Love to headline Jay-Z's annual Made in America music festival.

Live Nation and Roc Nation announced Tuesday that the festival will return to Philadelphia's Benjamin Franklin Parkway on Aug. 31-Sept. 1 for Labor Day weekend.

Tickets for general public go on sale Friday. Subscribers of Jay-Z's streaming service, Tidal, will have access to purchase tickets through a presale on Tuesday.

Earnings from the festival will benefit the American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania, and a portion of proceeds will support The REFORM Alliance.

This year's festival returns to the Parkway after a controversy before last year's festival over the closing of the public space for a ticketed event. Mayor Jim Kenney and Jay-Z's Roc Nation eventually came to terms for Made in America staying in the center of Philly for "years to come."
