Frank Ocean Cancels Hangout Festival Set, Replaced By Phoenix
Frank Ocean has canceled his headlining set at Hangout Festival, which is set to take place in Gulf Shores, Alabama on May 19. The festival revealed the news in the tweet below. “Due to production delays beyond his control Frank Ocean will be unable to perform,” festival representatives said in a statement. “He passes on his apologies & hopes to return to AL soon.” Phoenix will perform in his place. The announcement comes after Frank pulled out of Sasquatch! Festival, taking place a week later, “due to production delays beyond his control.” (He was replaced at that fest by LCD Soundsystem.) Reps for WayHome festival and NorthSide Festival tell Pitchfork Frank is still scheduled to perform, but there is no word yet on whether any of Frank’s other scheduled festival appearances, which include stops at Panorama Festival, Primavera Sound, and FYF will also be affected.

These are Frank’s first dates since the release of Blonde and Endless. Since the release of those albums, Frank has fed his fans a relatively steady stream of new music recently, appearing alongside Migos on Calvin Harris’ “Slide” and dropping a series of new tracks: “Chanel,” “Biking” featuring Jay Z and Tyler, the Creator, and “Lens.”
