James Blake will join the singer in documenting the weekend's events.

UPDATE:

Ocean's reps reached out to BET.com to clarify the reports on the stint. The "Thinkin' Bout You" singer will not be performing with Blake, but would be a part of a brief road trip in aims of creating content for his upcoming publication titled Boys Don't Cry.

James Blake further clarified the details on his Facebook page, writing, "As previously said earlier today, Frank and I are not performing live or on tour — we're on a 1-800 DINOSAUR road trip, putting on club nights and documenting the weekend for the BoysDontCry Magazine."
