Rapper Tyler, the Creator attends the 60th Annual GRAMMY Awards at Madison Square Garden on January 28, 2018 in New York City.
The line-up for the festival is set to be announced soon.

Tyler, The Creator announced the 2019 edition of Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival earlier today. The annual festival will return to Dodger Stadium once again on Nov. 9 and 10th with pre-sale tickets going on sale on May 10th at 12 p.m. PDT. Unfortunately, he hasn't unveiled the line-up yet but we could only assume he'll return with another stacked roster once again.

2018 marked the first year that Tyler, The Creator and company took over the Dodgers Stadium for the annual carnival. Previous editions of the festival took place at Los Angeles' Exposition Park but the expansion was indicative of a huge line-up they had. Of course, Tyler took the stage but he also booked both Kanye West and Kid Cudi to perform together for the first time publicly as KIDS SEE GHOSTS. Other performers included Earl Sweatshirt, A$AP Rocky, SZA, The Internet, Post Malone, Playboi Carti, and Pusha T, who ended up having a "F*ck Drake" caption appear behind him during his set. He later denied any involvement in making it happen.

Aside from the 2019 edition of the festival, Tyler, The Creator will also be blessing fans with a new album before then. There have been rumors over the past few weeks that he'd be releasing a new album before July which he confirmed yesterday. He teased two new songs last week before formally announcing IGOR which is set to arrive on May 17th. Keep your eyes peeled for that.
