Tyler, The Creator is bringing Camp Flog Gnaw back to Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles on Nov. 11-12.
This year marks the ninth edition of the festival, which has evolved from its humble beginnings in 2012 when it debuted at Club Nokia (now The Novo) in downtown Los Angeles and was known then as OFWGKTA Carnival. What started as a small gathering has blossomed into a larger-than-life carnival experience, a testament to Tyler’s vision. The festival blends music with the excitement of carnival rides and games. Past editions have featured acts such as Drake, Action Bronson, Odd Future, Frank Ocean, Solange, Brockhampton, Daniel Caesar, 21 Savage and Lil Wayne.
The festival’s journey has not been without its challenges, as COVID-19 and Tyler’s busy touring schedule led to a three-year hiatus. However, fans were hungry for its return as the two-day festival is officially sold out, but resale tickets are available via secondary sellers if you’d still like to attend.
Here’s what you need to know before heading out for Camp Flog Gnaw.
The Lineup
The Camp Flog Gnaw lineup caters to a diverse audience of music lovers, spanning rap, R&B and indie music. This year’s festival boasts a roster of nearly 40 acts.
One of the biggest performances will undoubtedly come from R&B superstar SZA, who recently dazzled audiences during her Kia Forum stop on her sold out SOS Tour. Fans can expect chart-topping hits like “Snooze” and “Kill Bill” to be in the setlist. Another highlight will be The Hillbillies, the duo composed of Kendrick Lamar and Baby Keem, who happen to be cousins. Their collaboration on tracks such as “Family Ties” and “Range Brothers” from Keem’s 2021 record “Melodic Blue” has fans speculating there will be a new record coming within the next year.
Of course, Tyler, the Odd Future leader and mastermind behind it all will be another big draw. Fresh off the release of the deluxe version of “Call Me If You Get Lost: The Estate Sale” earlier this year, Tyler’s performance will likely include hits off his latest release while including fan favorites like “See You Again” and “Answer.”
Other acts scheduled to perform include Lil Yachty, Ice Spice, Clipse, Kali Uchis, Earl Sweatshirt, Rex Orange County, Syd, PinkPantheress, Dominic Fike, Willow, Ravyn Lenae, Turnstile, Paris Texas, Beabadoobee, Baby Rose, Cuco, Toro y Moi and more.
Games, rides and other perks
All of the games and rides fans have come to expect from the Camp Flog Gnaw experience will return including the Ferris wheels, swings and other attractions.
Rides are included in the festival pass fees, but game tickets are sold separately. VIP pass holders will get the extra perks with their tickets including a backpack, water bottle, snow globe, mini helmet, carabiner, baseball keychain and a pin. Super VIP pass holders can expect to snag a SE 29” Golf Wang Big Flyer Bike, Converse x Golf Wang custom shoes, a Camp Flog Gnaw blanket, fanny pack, mug and pin.
