Music festivals have started to become a major part of the music industry. Usually these festivals are put on by big production companies, but the LA based Odd Future rap collective went a different route and put on a music festival in the form of a Carnival. Odd Future’s leader Tyler, The Creator has been making headlines ever since he released his first music video which he rapped and directed for his song Yonkers. Tyler has released two solo albums since his debut and has toured all around the world.
Odd Future is a Hip hop collective group that features 12 artists and their friends. They were able to sign with Sony Records, but make their own label called Odd Future Records so they have all the rights to their music and have full creative power.

This carnival had a full array of rides, games and even a skate park for fans to enjoy. The day was filled with tons of activities then followed by a great line up of artists with Tyler and Grammy Award winning Frank Ocean headlining. One of the highlights of the Carnival was the guest appearance by Yeezus himself, Kanye West. Kanye surprised the crowd and came out to accompany Tyler for some songs and even did some fan favorites. This event sold tens out thousands of tickets and it is amazing to see young twenty year olds doing huge things in the music industry after only being known for a few years.
