Fyre Festival is supposed to take place in the Bahamas this weekend, but due to everything going completely wrong, it will not.
The luxurious experience was advertised almost exclusively on Instagram to a certain clientele (read: rich people) by Kendall Jenner, Bella Hadid and Emily Ratajkowski. It promised a private island, yachts, prime beach camping tents with comfy beds, supermodels everywhere, a $100,000 scavenger hunt with cash hidden around the island, and so much more. Just look at their website to see what they were promising.
Acts that were to perform at the 3-day getaway included Blink-182, Disclosure, Migos, Rae Sremmurd, Lil Yachty, Major Lazer, Pusha T, Desiigner, Kaytranada and more.
For those who got on one of the branded Fyre Festival planes that left from Miami, you walked into a total disaster. Nothing was finished, tents weren’t set up, greeting areas were abandoned, there were packaged skids littered around the grounds, the food was abysmal and the bars didn’t have alcohol. That was if you even made it to the Bahamas, most were stranded in a Miami airport without food or water. And it wasn’t even on a small private island as advertised.
The scenes from the festival grounds were a disaster.
Kick back, relax, and be happy you didn’t pay thousands for the following.
The infrastructure was nonexistent, and the festival staff either a skeleton crew or MIA. pic.twitter.com/8Gh6NevsFI

Early report is that many of the tents aren't assembled. Here's their tropical private island owned by Escobar! #FyreFestival pic.twitter.com/TNzBDbNAUJ

The "catering" (which cost extra) was a slice of untoasted bread, two slices prepackaged cheese, and a side salad. pic.twitter.com/BoKxWAMI5i

They've now locked us in the airport. No rules, just right. Welcome to the Bahamas! (Tell my family I love them) #fyrefestival pic.twitter.com/KkgkroZzhc

This is how Fyre Fest handles luggage. Just drop it out of a shipping container. At night. With no lights. #fyrefestival pic.twitter.com/X5CdZRyJWo

So Fyre Fest is a complete disaster. Mass chaos. No organization. No one knows where to go. There are no villas, just a disaster tent city. pic.twitter.com/1lSWtnk7cA

I guess this is what happens when you trust a festival put on by Ja Rule.
