The 2017 lineup has just been announced for Tyler, The Creator's annual Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival at Exposition Park in Los Angeles, and it's a doozy.

Major headliners for the two-day festival include Lana Del Rey and Tyler, The Creator, who just last month battled for the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100, having both released their latest albums the same week. Del Rey squeaked ahead by roughly 1,000 albums sold to take No. 1. It was Tyler's first career No. 1 debut and Del Rey's second.

Additional acts announced include GRAMMY winners 2 Chainz, Solange, Kid Cudi, and Justice, a slew of past GRAMMY nominees, including A$AP Rocky, the Internet, Earl Sweatshirt, Kelis, and Kehlani, as well as tons of rising and freshly minted stars like Migos, Vince Staples, Brockhampton, Alison Wonderland, and Lil Yachty.

Careful readers will of course note that nearly every member of the original Odd Future lineup has also made the billing this year, with the notable exception of Frank Ocean. That said, there is still one blank spot on the lineup poster, and savvy eyes will pick up "+ special guest" in the announcement. So perhaps the door still remains open on the possibility of an impromptu Odd Future reunion during either Tyler, The Creator's or Earl Sweatshirt's sets. Guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Watch Tyler take home his first-ever GRAMMY win, for Best Rap Album, at the 62nd GRAMMY Awards

Tyler, The Creator has won Best Rap Album for IGOR at the 62nd GRAMMY Awards. This is his first ever GRAMMY win. Earlier in the show, he served up a (literally) lit performance of "EARFQUAKE" and "NEW MAGIC WAND" from IGOR.

In a tender moment, he brought his (crying and very excited) mother on stage to accept his golden gramophone. 

"Stick with me, I don't know if I'm gonna be up here again," Tyler said during his acceptance speech. "One: to my mother, you did a great job raising this guy," he said, looking to his mom and smiling.

Tyler, The Creator Wins Best Rap Album

Tyler beat out fellow category nominees Dreamville (Revenge Of The Dreamers III), Meek Mill (Championships), 21 Savage (I AM > I WAS), and YBN Cordae (The Lost Boy).

Last year, at the 61st GRAMMY Awards, Cardi B won Best Rap Album in a historic moment, being the first women to win the title.

Tyler, The Creator Gives A Fiery Performance Of "NEW MAGIC WAND" At The 2020 GRAMMYs

The Odd Future head honcho's 2020 GRAMMYs performance was truly memorable

Fans of Odd Future head honcho Tyler, The Creator are used to expecting the unexpected when it comes to his performances, and his appearance during the 62nd Annual GRAMMY Awards on Sunday (Jan. 26) was truly memorable.

The California native, who performed "NEW MAGIC WAND" and "EARFQUAKE" off of his Best Rap Album-winning (he earned the title later in the show) hit IGOR, quite literally set the stage ablaze with his unparalleled energy. The rapper/producer sported a pink and magenta color blocked suit and his blonde signature bowl cut wig, which moshing doppelgängers also wore throughout the high-octane and colorful performance. 

The stage elevated as the Tyler’s energy rose, and bringing out his IGOR collaborator, R&B legend Charlie Wilson, allowed the performance to experience a magnetic rhythm that never once wavered. Wilson delighted the audience with his iconic vocal riffs.

The performance ends with the small town-style scenery lighting on fire, as Tyler magically disappears by falling backwards into the ground. To see it was to believe it, and we’re sure this will be one of the performances that will be remembered all night.
