Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival announced its 2026 lineup, with Future, Earl Sweatshirt, and Steve Lacy headlining the November festival. The Los Angeles-based event, curated by Tyler, The Creator, will also feature Jane Remover, MIKE, Turnstile, and additional artists to be revealed.
The festival has solidified itself as one of hip-hop and alternative music's most influential annual gatherings. Tyler established Camp Flog Gnaw in 2011 as an extension of his Odd Future collective, transforming it into a cultural fixture that balances mainstream rap acts with experimental producers and indie rock bands. The programming typically reflects Tyler's eclectic taste, mixing established artists with emerging names across multiple genres.
Future's inclusion marks a significant draw for mainstream audiences. The Atlanta rapper and producer remains one of hip-hop's most prolific voices, with a catalog spanning from trap innovation to introspective releases. Earl Sweatshirt brings artistic credibility, his early Odd Future association and subsequent solo work establishing him as a critically acclaimed voice in alternative hip-hop. Steve Lacy, the multi-instrumentalist and producer who rose to prominence through The Internet and solo releases, appeals to the festival's younger, genre-crossing audience.
The supporting lineup reflects Camp Flog Gnaw's commitment to diverse sounds. Jane Remover, an experimental pop artist, and MIKE, known for introspective underground hip-hop, represent the festival's indie sensibility. Turnstile, the Baltimore post-hardcore band, continues the event's tradition of incorporating punk and rock acts alongside hip-hop.
Camp Flog Gnaw typically draws over 40,000 attendees annually. The festival's format includes multiple stages, art installations, and merchandise that often become collector's items. Tyler's curation extends beyond the music itself, with each edition featuring distinct visual themes and interactive elements that make attendance feel like stepping into his creative universe.
The 2026 edition promises to maintain this standard while introducing fresh collaborations and performances.
