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.

Don't Sleep On These Brand-New Holiday Songs From RuPaul, Lil Jon & More

Tired of the same ol' holiday songs? We've got you covered with this roundup of the best new ones from 2018

Every year, shortly after Thanksgiving ends, the debate around which holiday song is the best returns, with Mariah Carey an ever-present fixture of the discussion. By the time the holidays creep around, though, chances are those tracks are feeling a little played out. And you know what that means: It’s time for a new playlist.

Thanks to the generous spirit of artists including John Legend, Tyler, The Creator, Lil Jon, Ozuna, Aloe Blacc and RuPaul (of "RuPaul's Drag Race"), there are now a handful of cheerful new holiday tracks you can jam out to. You can listen to our selection below, all of which are original songs released this year (no remakes of "Jingle Bells" or "Santa Baby" here).

"Bring Me Love" – John Legend

Multi-hyphenate GRAMMY winner John Legend has been pretty busy. Remember when he became the first black man—and youngest person ever—to earn an EGOT (an Emmy, GRAMMY, Oscar and Tony winner) on Sept. 9? Perhaps his schedule had something to do with why the R&B crooner waited to release a proper holiday album, A Legendary Christmas (geddit?) until 2018. It was worth the wait: A Legendary Christmas offers Legend’s take on eight holiday classics, along with six original tracks, including "Bring Me Love."

"I Am The Grinch" – Tyler, The Creator

Everyone's favorite holiday hater, the Grinch, got a makeover this year with a new feature film, complete with a score written by GRAMMY-winning composer Danny Elfman and GRAMMY-nominated rapper Tyler, The Creator. The soundtrack features two tracks by Tyler, including an original song, "I Am The Grinch."

"All I Really Want For Christmas" – Lil Jon

If you haven't watched the music video for GRAMMY-nominated rapper/hype-man Lil Jon's "All I Really Want For Christmas" since it was released on Dec. 17, you've been missing out. Spoiler alert: The Kool-Aid Man is still breaking through walls, and all Lil Jon wants "is everything on my list, baby!"

"Llego La Navidad" – Ozuna

Reggaeton star Ozuna offers a joyful Spanish-language song, whose title translates to "Christmas Is Here," and is dedicated to his native Puerto Rico, with support from fellow Puerto Rican artists: Christian Nieves and children's music group Generación Escogida.

"Hey Sis, It's Christmas" – RuPaul feat. Markaholic

Queen bee drag queen RuPaul has gifted us with a third holiday album this year, titled Christmas Party, which follows 2015's Slay Belles and 1997's Ho Ho Ho. The album features several new, original songs, including the all-around fabulous "Hey Sis, It's Christmas" featuring Markaholic, with amazing lyrics like "all of Santa's elves be giving me life." RuPaul, you give us life.

"I Got Your Christmas Right Here" – Aloe Blacc

The soulful GRAMMY nominee also blessed listeners with a holiday album this year, Christmas Funk, which he said is "Christmas music you can listen to year round." One of the original songs, "I Got Your Christmas Right Here," is a cheerful track—and music video—celebrating love and family.
