Camp Flog Gnaw attendees began recording the stage in anticipation of Sunday night’s mystery headliner, who was not announced ahead of time.

Eventually, Tyler brought a few of his friends on stage as mystery headliners. Lil Uzi Vert performed two songs after A$AP Rocky and before Drake’s set.

Fans quickly left Dodger Stadium on Sunday night after chanting in favor of the mystery headliner being Frank Ocean and booing Drake, the actual headliner. Ocean never came on, and Drake cut his set short.
