The Budweiser Made in America Festival is underway at Grand Park in downtown Los Angeles, with dozens of rock, hip-hop and electronic acts and headliners including Kanye West, Imagine Dragons, John Mayer and Kendrick Lamar.

Around 35,000 fans were expected to attend each day of the all-ages, two-day event, much of which happens at the foot of City Hall. The concert has transformed the Civic Center area, blocking major streets and diverting traffic. The fest, curated by Jay Z and promoted by Live Nation, also is taking place in Philadelphia with a different lineup.
