This year’s edition of Tyler, The Creator’s Camp Flog Gnaw carnival has been delayed by severe weather – find more details below.
The 11th edition of the carnival was due to take place at Los Angeles’ Dodger Stadium this weekend (November 15 and 16) with artists including A$AP Rocky, Doechii, Childish Gambino, Clipse, Earl Sweatshirt, T-Pain, 2 Chainz, Thundercat, Larry June, Teezo Touchdown and more on the line-up.
A day before the event kicked off, it was announced it had been pushed back a weekend, and will now fall on November 22-23.
“Due to the fact this storm became an atmospheric rain torrential downpour we had 2 choices,” wrote Tyler on Instagram on Friday (November 14). “Cancel or move to next weekend. We chose the latter. We understand this is not ideal so we will offer refunds. For everyone else we will see you next weekend.”
Fans have until Tuesday (November 18) at 5pm PT to request a refund, and you can find more information here.
As noted by Variety, a handful of acts initially announced via a wordsearch shared by Tyler are no longer featured on the new line-up. These include Sombr, Clairo, Tems, Men I Trust, The Alchemist and Don Toliver.
Back in July, Tyler released his ninth studio album, ‘Don’t Tap The Glass’, having announced it only two days earlier during a concert in Brooklyn.
NME gave ‘Don’t Tap the Glass’ four stars, in a review that read: “Shedding the cinematic sprawl and narrative pathos of last year’s ‘Chromakopia’, Tyler steps away from the character-driven framing of Wolf Haley or Sir Baudelaire.
“The paranoia and parasocial tension explored on that record still linger – but beneath cartoonish ’80s rap armour. It’s part Kurtis Blow and part LL Cool J, encased in a clear Perspex chamber like a collector’s action figure. Instead of inviting connection, Tyler shields himself behind the glass: a museum piece for dance and display only.”
Shortly after the album came out, he also released a clean version at the request of a fan. The LP serves as a follow-up to ‘Chromakopia’, which landed at number 44 on NME‘s best albums of 2024 list.
In May, NME caught him live in London, giving his performance a glowing five-star review, which read: “As Tyler wishes us a farewell, he remains humble, but tonight is no small feat. With outfit changes, multiple stages and live vocals front-and-centre, Tyler flips through his eras like a masterclass in fearless reinvention.
“From the raw menace of ‘Goblin’ to the kaleidoscopic chaos of ‘Chromakopia’, tonight is a vivid, wild ride through the mind of rap’s ultimate maverick – and London is lucky to be along for the journey.”
Updating fans on his journey last month, he revealed that he originally planned for ‘Chromakopia’ to be his “last album for a very long time”.
In other news, the musician is set to make his film debut later this year in Marty Supreme, a new A24 film set to be released next month.
He also recently joined Doja Cat, Janelle Monáe, and Killer Mike for an OutKast tribute at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, which drew mixed reactions on social media, although Tyler’s hand in the performance earned praise from fans.
