Camp Flog Gnaw, the festival founded by Tyler, the Creator, takes place November 14 and 15 at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. It is the festival's 12th edition, and it is sold out, although a waitlist is reported to be open.

The lineup, which Tyler revealed through a word-search puzzle, includes Future, Steve Lacy, Magdalena Bay, Turnstile, Jane Remover, Don Toliver and Leon Thomas, among more than 40 artists.

Amazon says the event will again be livestreamed for free on Amazon Music, with the stream also appearing on Twitch, Prime Video and Amazon Live.

The Lockgroove take

The lineup is a map of Tyler's taste, not a genre.

Few festivals put hardcore, art-pop, rap and soul on the same bill without it feeling forced, but Camp Flog Gnaw has built its identity on that mix. The curation is the draw, and the sold-out status shows audiences trust it.

Pairing a stadium venue with a free global stream also means the audience beyond the gates is likely larger than the crowd inside. For acts like Turnstile and Magdalena Bay, that exposure may matter as much as the set itself.

Put this on

01
Turnstile, "MYSTERY" (GLOW ON, 2021)
Hardcore energy with a melodic hook, a good preview of the band's crossover appeal.
Play on Apple Music
02
Steve Lacy, "Bad Habit" (Gemini Rights, 2022)
His biggest hit and a lesson in how loose, lo-fi funk can become pop.

03
Magdalena Bay, "Image" (Imaginal Disk, 2024)
Glossy synth-pop that should translate well to a stadium crowd.
