Camp Flog Gnaw Postponed Amidst Southern California's Heaviest Rainfall in Decades
The Camp Flog Gnaw festival, set to take place at Dodgers Stadium this weekend, has been postponed due to a severe storm warning issued for the Los Angeles area. The event's organizer, Tyler, the Creator, announced the change of plans on Friday, citing the risk of "atmospheric rain torrential downpours" and opting instead to move the dates to November 22-23.
Tyler explained that canceling the festival was not a viable option, given the extreme weather conditions. The updated lineup has been shared, featuring performances by notable artists including ASAP Rocky, Childish Gambino, and Thundercat, but with some performers like Don Toliver and Tems no longer on board.
The storm system is expected to bring heavy rainfall and strong winds to Southern California, with the city of Los Angeles facing its wettest November since 1985. The risk of flooding and landslides in fire-scarred areas has also raised concerns, particularly for those affected by devastating wildfires earlier this year.
As Clairo, one of the performers set to close out her "Charm" era, expressed disappointment at the news, citing a sense of loss and gratitude towards fans. The event's postponement will undoubtedly have an impact on the festival-goers who had been eagerly anticipating the show, but it is reassuring that refunds will be offered to those affected.
The National Weather Service has issued a flood watch for a wide swath of Southern California, with evacuation warnings in effect through Sunday morning. Residents are advised to exercise caution and follow all instructions from local authorities as the storm system moves through the region.
