Tyler, The Creator has just announced the line-up for his annual Camp Flog Gnaw festival/carnival, which includes the likes of himself, Lana Del Rey, Rex Orange County, Solange, Kehlani, Brockhampton, and many more.
The festival takes place over the weekend of October 28th and 29th, in Los Angeles’ Exposition Park.
The full line-up is as follows:
Somehow, between releasing a new album with Queens Of The Stone Age (out August 25th) and working on the roll-out for the third Mini Mansions album, Michael Shuman has filled his schedule even more by taking on a new solo project, in the form of soundtracking ‘Feed’ - a film directed by friend Tommy Bertelsen, and written/produced by fellow friend Troian Bellisario (of ‘Pretty Little Liars’, who also plays the film’s lead).
The xx have just announced their first show in New Zealand in eight years - which will take place next year on January 11th, at Auckland’s Trust Arena, and $1 from every ticket purchased will go towards a local LGBT+ program (via a partnership with PLUS1).
The show is all ages, and tickets go on sale from Friday August 25th at 10am, with a special Fan Club pre-sale running from Monday August 21st at 12pm until Thursday August 24th and 10pm - click here for info on the pre-sale.
Ahead of the release of their upcoming sophomore album ‘Visions Of A Life’, Wolf Alice have dropped a new song in the form of ‘Beautifully Unconventional’ - a sharp and slick ode to celebrating beauty in all forms.

Exit Kid (Emre Turkmen of Years & Years, and drummer Dylan Bell) have released a Wiggles-inspired music video for 'Caesar’ - lifted from the duo’s self-titled debut EP - which was directed by Joe Baughmann.
In an interview with Clash magazine, Baughmann said about the video:
Last month The 1975 performed the final show in support of their 'I Like It When You Sleep, For You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware Of It' album, appearing at Latitude Festival 2017 in Suffolk’s Henham Park - during which they played the Drive Like I Do song ’28' live for the very first time since their O.G. DLID days.
Wolf Alice have released an adorable music video for 'Don't Delete The Kisses' - the second single from the band’s upcoming new album, 'Visions Of A Life' (out September 29th) - which the band’s Ellie Rowsell has told Beats 1’s Matt Wilkinson is her trying her hand at "a hold-nothing-back love song".
