Tyler the Creator continues a major run in 2025 as his new Fortnite collaboration launches alongside the ongoing success of his latest album and a busy global tour schedule. The Fortnite bundle debuts today, making this one of the most active periods of his career.
Fortnite Brings Tyler’s Style Into the Game
Epic Games has officially launched a new Tyler-inspired Fortnite bundle that includes two character skins based on his signature looks, along with themed back blings, wraps, emotes, and accessories. The items arrive in the in-game shop at 4 p.m. PT / 7 p.m. ET on November 14, giving U.S. players immediate access.
The skins reflect two distinct eras of his artistry—his early Odd Future aesthetic and the vivid visual style tied to his recent Chromakopia era. The drop blends bold color palettes and recognizable details tied to his music and fashion, bringing a new creative dimension to the game.
For younger players discovering him through digital culture, the collaboration offers a fresh entry point. Long-time fans get a chance to step into a world inspired by his evolving artistic identity.
‘Don’t Tap the Glass’ Extends His Music Momentum
Tyler’s latest project, Don’t Tap the Glass, arrived on July 21, 2025. The album features ten tracks and runs just under 29 minutes. It marks his ninth studio release and highlights a shift toward dance-driven production, mixing hip-house, techno, funk, and upbeat electronic influences.
Tyler produced the entire album himself. Guest appearances include Pharrell Williams, Yebba, and Madison McFerrin, but the sound stays centered on Tyler’s voice, rhythms, and minimalist approach. The album emphasizes movement and energy rather than heavy storytelling, showcasing a different creative angle than his 2024 album Chromakopia.
The project quickly became a commercial success in the U.S., debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and reinforcing his reputation as one of the most consistent album artists of the past decade.
A Surprise Release During His Massive Tour
The timing of Don’t Tap the Glass surprised many fans. Tyler released the album in the middle of his Chromakopia World Tour, which began in early 2025 and spans North America, Europe, the U.K., Australia, and New Zealand.
Instead of a long promotional rollout, he teased the project during a Brooklyn show and released it soon after with minimal buildup. He later explained that he wanted to share the music as soon as it felt complete, avoiding delays or over-planning.
The surprise worked. The album connected strongly with audiences, and fans continue to respond to the upbeat, dance-centric production as he performs tracks from it on tour.
Camp Flog Gnaw 2025 Takes Over Los Angeles
Tyler’s annual festival, Camp Flog Gnaw, returns this weekend on November 15–16 at the grounds surrounding Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. The two-day event is fully sold out, continuing a streak that has made the festival one of the most unique artist-curated gatherings in the country.
This year’s lineup includes Childish Gambino, Earl Sweatshirt, Clipse, Tems, Don Toliver, GloRilla, and several more artists across hip-hop, R&B, and alternative genres. Tyler again headlines and curates the event, integrating music, art, and the Golf aesthetic that has defined so much of his creative world.
Camp Flog Gnaw remains central to his identity as both an artist and a cultural curator. It serves as a space for fans to experience his music in a festival environment shaped by his vision.
Hints at a Long Break From Touring
Even with his packed schedule, Tyler has suggested that a slowdown may be coming. During a stop on the Chromakopia World Tour in late September, he told fans he planned to take a “very, very, very long break” from touring. He also shared that he has been thinking about whether he wants to continue performing at the same pace after this cycle ends.
This sentiment marks a major shift. Tyler has spent much of 2025 traveling across continents, from major arenas to massive international festivals. He also headlined multiple U.S. events this year, including a standout performance at Outside Lands in San Francisco.
Despite his hints at a break, his schedule still includes additional shows through 2026, including festival appearances in South America and a slate of dates across Mexico, Puerto Rico, Colombia, and Costa Rica. Fans in the U.S. are closely watching for whether he will add more domestic dates before stepping back.
