Heavy rain over the weekend has led to the postponement of the highly anticipated Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. The festival, organized by Tyler, the Creator, will now take place on November 22-23. This decision was announced on Instagram, where the festival’s team assured fans that their existing wristbands remain valid for the new dates, and refunds will be available for those who cannot attend.
Southern California faced significant rainfall, with some areas under flood watch, as a month’s worth of rain fell in just one day. This extreme weather raised concerns about dangerous flash floods, particularly in regions affected by recent wildfires in Los Angeles, Ventura, and Santa Barbara counties.
The announcement of the postponement has sparked frustration among concertgoers, many of whom expressed their disappointment on social media. Fans referenced the festival’s previous promise of proceeding “rain or shine,” leading to complaints about the change in plans. Some concertgoers, including those who traveled internationally, shared their heartache, underscoring the emotional investment fans have in events like these.
Despite the challenges faced, the Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival is set to celebrate its 11th anniversary this year, marking a return after a three-year hiatus due to the pandemic. The festival’s lineup features an impressive array of talent, including ASAP Rocky, Childish Gambino, Doechii, Earl Sweatshirt, GloRilla, 2 Chainz, and T-Pain. Adding to the excitement, Kali Uchis has recently been announced as a performer, fittingly coinciding with her song “After the Storm.”
As the festival moves to its new dates, it offers a hopeful opportunity for fans to experience an unforgettable weekend filled with incredible performances and festivities.
