Editor's Note: This story was originally published in May 2023 and has been updated to include news of the 2025 Camp Flog Gnaw festival at Dodger Stadium.
Big news was revealed in Kendrick Lamar and Baby Keem’s new music video “The Hillbillies.” Appearing in the video was Tyler, the Creator, who revealed that his long-delayed carnival-slash-music festival Camp Flog Gnaw would return to Dodger Stadium in November.
Fans speculating that Lamar and Keem would make appearances at the festival were correct, with the pair headlining the festival together as The Hillbillies.
Since its return, Camp Flog Gnaw has been held every year at Dodger Stadium, with the 2025 Camp Flog Gnaw taking place over the Nov. 15 weekend. The 2025 lineup was announced with a word search puzzle, where fans all over the internet tried to find big names like Tems, Childish Gambino and A$AP Rocky.
In an interview with Billboard in 2022, Tyler’s longtime manager, Chris Clancy shared that the Call Me If You Get Lost rapper would not be holding a Camp Flog Gnaw until 2023 due to a hectic schedule.
"It’s really not that deep," Clancy said. "Tyler toured all year and was busy with a number of projects. Reading the tea leaves and what’s happening with festivals coming out of the pandemic, we thought it would be best to come back next year."
The last Camp Flog Gnaw before its return was held in November 2019, with performers including Solange, Yasiin Bey, A$AP Rocky, H.E.R., Blood Orange, YG, 21 Savage, Thundercat, Summer Walker, Earl Sweatshirt and Drake, who was infamously booed off the Camp Stage. In response, Tyler said he was “disappointed” with attendees' reaction to the Her Loss rapper.
"The only reason I was mad was because I was like, 'Aubrey, come to this. Everyone is going to welcome you with open arms. These kids don't judge. This is a safe spot for anyone,’” Tyler told Kerwin Frost in 2019. “And then when that happened and these m*********** are like 'f*** you,' it's like a reflection on me to Aubrey."
