Camp Flog Gnaw's top hits

The festival bounces back after a weather delay. Here are this year’s highlights.

TYLER, the Creator expressed gratitude as he headlined Saturday.

As natural disasters in Los Angeles go, a rain delay temporarily washing out a music festival is pretty low stakes. But fans had to scramble last week after a sudden thunderstorm made Tyler, the Creator's flagship festival at Dodger Stadium soggy and unnavigable.

With the show kicked forward a week, a few acts (Sombr, Tems, Clairo) dropped off the bill, a few (Kali Uchis) joined in their stead, and travelers with nonrefundable plane tickets had to find other ways to amuse themselves in L.A. for a week.

But once the Dodger Stadium gates finally opened, everything was more or less smooth sailing. Here are the highlights of the weekend's performances.

A FLY-BY COURTESY OF 'MARTY SUPREME'

Last week, actor Timothée Chalamet released a parody of a marketing meeting, for his upcoming film "Marty Supreme." The 18minute clip consisted of the Oscar nominee pitching the team outlandish advertising ideas like painting the Statue of Liberty orange. In the Zoom meeting, he says, "We should have the blimp go above Flog Gnaw and rain ping-pong balls, Supreme-branded, Marty rain ping-pong balls on everyone." Low and behold, right before Tyler, the Creator's set, a bright orange blimp reading "Marty Supreme" began circling Dodger Stadium just as Chalamet prophesied. People all around the festival could be seen stopping and pointing out the flying spectacle.

But thankfully, no raining ping-pong balls made an appearance. Cerys Davies

GEESE WING THEIR WAY TO TOWN

If every generation deserves its own cool/sexy/ mystifying rock band, then Gen Z's (or maybe Gen Alpha's) seems to be Geese.

Led by the deep-voiced Cameron Winter, the group from New York appeared at Flog Gnaw less than 24 hours after a hometown gig at the Brooklyn Paramount on Friday night.
