Tyler, the Creator’s Camp Flog Gnaw postponed because of L.A. rain
Camp Flog Gnaw is being postponed because of the rain in Los Angeles.
The annual music festival presented by Tyler, the Creator — which was supposed to take place this weekend on the grounds surrounding Dodger Stadium — will now happen Nov. 22 and 23 in the same location.
“Due to the fact this storm became an atmospheric rain torrential downpour we had 2 choices — cancel or move to next weekend,” Tyler said in a post on Instagram. “We chose the latter.”
The rapper, who last week was nominated for five Grammy Awards including album of the year for “Chromakopia,” added, “We understand this is not ideal so we will offer refunds.”
The show as rescheduled will feature a slightly pared-down lineup that includes performances by Tyler, ASAP Rocky, Doechii, Clipse, Childish Gambino, Earl Sweatshirt, T-Pain and others. Among the acts who dropped off the bill are Tems, Clairo, Sombr and Don Toliver.
Tyler launched Camp Flog Gnaw in 2012 as a one-day event at downtown’s Club Nokia (now known as the Novo). The festival expanded to two days in 2016 and moved to Dodger Stadium in 2018. Flog Gnaw is known for its eclectic booking and a carnival-like atmosphere complete with games, rides and funnel cakes. Performers at the festival’s 2024 edition included Tyler, Playboi Carti, Doechii, Vince Staples, Omar Apollo and André 3000.
This weekend’s storm is expected to bring heavy rain to Southern California and has triggered fears about flooding and mudslides, particularly in areas burned in this year’s destructive wildfires. A live taping of Will Arnett, Jason Bateman and Sean Hayes’ ”SmartLess” podcast scheduled for Saturday night at the Hollywood Bowl was also called off because of weather.
