Frank Ocean was slated to co-headline Drake’s OVO Festival but pulled out days before the show forcing the cancelling of the first day of festivities. The show still went on with Miguel taking his spot, performances from James Blake and Wale, and the reunion of Diddy and Mase. Revolt TV recently caught up with the “All Me” rapper and got the skinny on why Ocean was a no-show. According to Drake, Ocean became too overwhelmed with his own performances and his recent vocal chord injury to make the Toronto festival. “I know Frank’s been working hard touring everywhere so [his absence is] understandable,” said Drake. “I’ve had my time where I was like, ‘I can’t do these shows.’ It’s just too much, you know. He hit me and was like, ‘Yo, I’m sorry man.’ It’s all good, it’s all love, man. It would have been incredible to have him.”
No love lost. The show still had all kinds of surprises including performances from Kanye West, French Montana, TLC, A$AP Rocky and Lil Wayne. Check out the entire clip below.
The second annual OFWGKTA Carnival presented by Camp Flog Gnaw returns with Wolf Gang honcho Tyler, the Creator and fellow Odd Future patron Frank Ocean at the top of the bill. The rest of the line-up will roll out at a later date, but expect the usual Odd Future crew to show up and cause a ruckus. The 2013 installment will take place Nov. 9 in downtown LA at The Park at LA Coliseum.
The ode-to-Odd Future fest expands in 2013 to two stages -- the "Camp" stage and the "High" stage -- and a skatepark. Expect the usual amusement park rides and games.
Early bird general admission tickets are going for $50 a pop on Campfloggnaw.com. They jump to $65 after Aug. 11, and Tyler suggest you purchase via computer.
If you have a cool $200 in your wallet, opt for the the Flog Gnaw package, which includes "early admission to the carnival with unlimited rides, a carnival themed Odd Future back pack, t-shirt, commemorative lanyard, game tickets, special viewing area, artist meet n greet, raffle of Odd Future prizes with a chance to watch the show from the stage, and more." Bet Justin Bieber already got his.
