Camp Flog Gnaw 2023 Postponed Over Safety Concerns
Tyler, The Creator’s Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival has been rescheduled from November 11–12 to November 18–19 at Los Angeles’ Dodger Stadium after forecasts predicted severe weather. The abrupt shift has led to artist cancellations and fan frustrations, though Tyler emphasized attendee safety in his announcement.
Why Was Camp Flog Gnaw Rescheduled?
Tyler cited “severe weather” risks in an Instagram post, referencing Southern California’s rare November storms. The outdoor festival’s rides, stages, and crowd safety were primary concerns. Refunds were offered for those unable to attend the new dates, but logistical challenges remain for travelers.
Lineup Changes: Key Artists Withdraw
The date clash forced several performers to drop out, including:
– Kali Uchis: Confirmed “prior obligations” prevent her performance.
– Rex Orange County: Withdrew due to tour conflicts.
– Teezo Touchdown: Announced scheduling issues on social media.
While replacements are unconfirmed, Tyler’s history of surprise guests (like Drake and Frank Ocean in past years) keeps hopes high. Remaining headliners like SZA, Ice Spice, and The Hillbillies (Kendrick Lamar & Baby Keem) anchor the revised lineup.
Fan Backlash and Support
Reactions on Twitter/X split between:
– Criticism: “Non-refundable flights + half the lineup gone = disaster,” tweeted one attendee.
– Praise: “Safety first! Tyler will make it work,” countered fans.
What to Expect at the Rescheduled Festival
Despite setbacks, Camp Flog Gnaw’s blend of hip-hop, carnival attractions, and Tyler’s creative direction promises a memorable weekend. Updates on refunds, replacements, and potential surprises will roll out via @campfloggnaw.
Pro tip: Check ticket vendors for refund policies and watch for last-minute artist additions.
