R&B singer will be replaced by Kanye West
However, things are certainly looking up for attendees after it was announced that Kanye West will be Ocean’s replacement in the same slot.
Rapper Kanye West has replaced Frank Ocean to headline the first of the two-day FYF music festival after Ocean cancelled his set. A statement on FYF’s website read that “Frank Ocean has decided on his own terms to cancel his appearance”. Billboard reported.
Ocean was expected to perform brand new material from his highly-anticipated follow-up to 2012’s Grammy winning “channel ORANGE“. “The album has originally been slated for a July released, based on a “#JULY2015” hashtag that appeared on the album’s microsite.
FYF will take place at the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena and Exposition Park on 22-23 August.
The announcement was made via Twitter on Thursday, confirming that West would play on Saturday night.

The “All Day” artist will now headline the Main Stage on Saturday night, a feat that he has mastered over the past few years – so Frank’s absence won’t be too much of a loss.
