LOS ANGELES (AP) – Los Angeles’ first Budweiser Made in America music festival reflected the city’s diversity with a lineup that included rap, rock, punk, blues and Latin music. Kanye West, Cypress Hill, Weezer, Rise Against, John Mayer and Juanes were among Sunday’s performers.
“This whole place is full of good, loving people,” Mayer told the crowd from the festival’s main stage.
The two-day concert, held simultaneously with a sister show in Philadelphia, featured more than 30 acts. Iggy Azalea, Metric, Kendrick Lamar and Imagine Dragons took the stage Saturday in Los Angeles. The Philadelphia festival included performers such as Kings of Leon, Tiesto and Pharrell Williams. West and DJ Steve Aoki performed in both cities.
More than 37,000 people attended the Los Angeles festival’s second day in downtown’s Grand Park – the first time the two-year-old park has been used for a large, ticketed event. Authorities made 59 arrests Sunday – including four for narcotics-related felonies – and cited 67 others for alcohol-related offenses, Los Angeles Police spokesman Lt. Andy Neiman said. Nearly 50 people were treated for alcohol-related problems and released, and three others were taken to a hospital for treatment, he added.
