Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival

American music festival From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival (formerly known as the ODD FUTURE WOLF GANG KILL THEM ALL Carnival or Odd Future carnival) is an annual American music festival and carnival created by Tyler, the Creator and has been held annually since its inception in the fall of 2012, except from 2020 to 2022 (due to the COVID-19 pandemic).[1][2] The festival features a variety of carnival games and rides (those of which include a massive Ferris wheel), food vendors, and a myriad of notable artists. Prior to 2016, the festival had only been held for one day. It is always held on a weekend. There is no explicit date(s) on which Camp Flog Gnaw is held. However, past carnivals have been held at either the end of October or the middle of November (with the exception of the first festival, which was held on September 30, 2012).[3] Since 2023, the festivals were live-streamed via Amazon Prime and Twitch.[4]

Namesake

After starting as the OFWGKTA Carnival, the festival would soon adopt the name Camp Flog Gnaw. Camp Flog Gnaw was originally the title of the Odd Future tour the initial 2012 carnival was part of[5], but would become best known as the fictional camp Tyler, The Creator's 2013 concept album Wolf takes place on. Starting in 2013, the carnival would be called Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival with the Odd Future titling being phased out by 2015.

In a 2023 interview with Nardwuar, Tyler explained that the Flog Gnaw title came to be when he was designing a seal for a fictional camp inspired by a series of "Summer Camp Mixes" he had put together. The name itself, described by Tyler "is just Golf Wang backwards, which is just Wolf Gang with the 2 first letters switched."[6]

Drake controversy

Rumors arose during 2019's Camp Flog Gnaw wherein a special guest was to appear and perform at the festival. At that time, discussions online hoped and weened an old affiliate of Odd Future, naming Frank Ocean as the one to make a well-anticipated appearance in the festival. The special guest was Drake, and many attendees at the festival were left disappointed. Some fans repeatedly booed Drake during his set, eventually forcing him to walk offstage early.[7] Tyler later expressed his disappointment about the situation through a post on Twitter.[8]
