Childish Gambino is crowdsourcing the vibes. The singer, actor, and writer Donald Glover hopped on Instagram to hand fans the aux cord in a way for his upcoming Camp Flog Gnaw performance, sharing a link to a live-updating website where people can vote on exactly which songs he should perform. Yes, the setlist is officially in the people’s hands.

The show goes down Nov. 15 and, according to Glover’s Instagram Stories, it’ll be livestreamed which basically means every vote could end up shaping what thousands of people see at the actual show. The interactive site features tracks spanning his entire catalog, from “3005” and “Baby Boy” to the glossy, experimental cuts like “Terrified” and “We Are God.”

Early front-runners include essentials like “Redbone,” “LES,” “Pink Toes,” “This is America,” and something intriguingly listed as “Mystery Song Cover."  Some people are going deep-cut mode, too. I threw in a request for “Favorite Song” from Chance’s Acid Rap and “Sober” from his 2014 STN MTN / Kauai EP.

Gambino’s been on a nostalgic streak lately. Over the weekend, he appeared at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony to honor OutKast, delivering one of the night’s standout speeches.

“Big Boi and André, I want to personally, thank you. Around the time Speakerboxxx/The Love Below came out, I wrote a letter from college to my brother, and I said, ‘I had a dream that we wrote a show together,’” Glover said, referencing his show Atlanta.

He continued: “Thank you for showing me that brothers may not always see eye to eye and their philosophies or styles, but they need each other in a world that would rather see them both fail together."

Camp Flog Gnaw also dropped its full schedule for this weekend, and Gambino is closing out Saturday night on the Camp Stage at around 10 p.m. If you’ve ever wished you could decide what Childish Gambino performs live… this is your moment.
