Tyler the Creator’s music festival, Camp Flog Gnaw, took place November 22–23 at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California. Headliners included Tyler the Creator, Childish Gambino, A$AP Rocky, and Doechii; alongside them were performers such as Geezer, Blood Orange, Teezo Touchdown, and more.
The festival was originally scheduled for November 15–16, but due to severe rain leading to unsafe concert conditions, Tyler announced a last-minute postponement. When the date changed, several artists including Sombr and Don Toliver had to drop out due to conflicts with their own respective tours. The cancellations created even more disappointment, especially for fans looking forward to seeing rare performances. Despite this, Tyler’s team filled the open slots with artists’ strong sets including Kali Uchis and other surprise replacements, helping bring the excitement back from the angering circumstances.
The performances across the weekend were energetic and lively.Tyler the Creator’s set was based off of his newest album “Don’t Tap the Glass,” featuring his best hits as well as songs from the album “Chromakopia.” Throughout Childish Gambino’s set, drones flew through the sky, lighting up the stadium. A$AP Rocky’s performance had helicopters shining spotlights down on the crowd and pyrotechnics that lit up the stage.
Beyond the main acts, smaller artists ended up being super memorable. Geezer, the new band consisting of Kevin Abstract and Dominic Fike, drew a massive crowd, highlighting their rapidly growing fanbase. Blood Orange performed a relaxing set, and Teezo Touchdown a theatrical one.
The festival’s atmosphere was true to Camp Flog Gnaw’s usual vibe: colorful banners, blasting music, carnival games, unique food options, and more. There were a few technical issues like brief audio dropouts during afternoon sets, but nothing that stopped a performance completely.
Overall, Camp Flog Gnaw 2025 delivered a memorable weekend for attendees despite the rescheduling. Fans left the weekend feeling that Tyler’s Flog Gnaw is still a one-of-a-kind experience.
