The 11th edition of the carnival will take place at Los Angeles’ Dodger Stadium on November 15 and 16. Tickets for the festival were initially put on sale in June, without any news as to who would be performing. Passes promptly sold out and fans have since been awaiting the reveal of the line-up.
Now, Tyler has unveiled the list of artists set to perform via a word search that was posted on Instagram yesterday (August 21).
The puzzle revealed that, alongside Tyler himself, playing the festival will be A$AP Rocky, Doechii, Childish Gambino, Clipse, Earl Sweatshirt, T-Pain, The Alchemist, 2 Chainz, Thundercat, Larry June, Clairo, Teezo Touchdown, Tems and more.
Last year, the rapper shared the festival’s line-up in a similar fashion, rolling out a crossword puzzle to reveal performances from Erykah Badu, Playboi Carti, André 3000, Kaytranada, Sexyy Red, Vince Staples, Omar Apollo, Faye Webster, RAYE, and more.
The 2024 edition was full of surprises, including R&B superstar SZA joining Doechii on stage during her set to perform their 2020 collaboration, ‘Persuasive (remix)’, and Playboi Carti brought out The Weeknd during his set to perform ‘Timeless’.
In other news, Tyler released his ninth studio album, ‘Don’t Tap The Glass’, in July, after announcing it only two days earlier during a concert in Brooklyn.
NME gave ‘Don’t Tap the Glass’ four stars, in a review that read: “Shedding the cinematic sprawl and narrative pathos of last year’s ‘Chromakopia’, Tyler steps away from the character-driven framing of Wolf Haley or Sir Baudelaire.
“The paranoia and parasocial tension explored on that record still linger – but beneath cartoonish ’80s rap armour. It’s part Kurtis Blow and part LL Cool J, encased in a clear Perspex chamber like a collector’s action figure. Instead of inviting connection, Tyler shields himself behind the glass: a museum piece for dance and display only.”
Shortly after the album came out, he also released a clean version at the request of a fan. The LP serves as a follow-up to ‘Chromakopia’, which landed at number 44 on NME‘s best albums of 2024 list.
In May, NME caught him live in London, giving his performance a glowing five-star review which read: “As Tyler wishes us a farewell, he remains humble, but tonight is no small feat. With outfit changes, multiple stages and live vocals front-and-centre, Tyler flips through his eras like a masterclass in fearless reinvention.
“From the raw menace of ‘Goblin’ to the kaleidoscopic chaos of ‘Chromakopia’, tonight is a vivid, wild ride through the mind of rap’s ultimate maverick – and London is lucky to be along for the journey.
In other news, the musician is set to make his film debut later this year in Marty Supreme, a new A24 film set to be released in December.
