Given the scale of most music festivals, it’s not uncommon for a fest to have its fair share of glitches, human error, and overall bad luck.
While mayhem is sometimes common, the Fyre Festival in the Exumas, Bahamas has taken festival struggle to new levels.
Described as “a cultural moment created from a blend of music, art, and food,” the Fyre Festival was to boast a luxury experience for attendees, with transportation provided via a VIP configured Boeing 737 aircraft and lodging in geodesic domes.
Tickets prices to the festival, which was co-created by rapper Ja Rule, reached the thousands.
The social media accounts from a number of attendees yesterday (April 27) paint a less luxurious picture of the festival.
One Twitter user, William N. Finley IV, described Fyre Fest as “a complete disaster” and “a disaster tent city.” In one photo Finley shared, luggage appears to be distributed out of a storage container.
A side-by-side photo one Twitter user shared of the “geodesic domes” and tents used for disaster relief shows eerie similarities.
And the food doesn’t look much better.
Additionally, flights to the Exumas from Miami were reportedly halted due to the island being over capacity.
Taking place from April 28 – 30 (and later May 5 – 7), the Fyre Fest boasts a solid lineup of artists, including Lil Yachty, Major Lazer, and Kaytranada. Blink 182, a group set to headline, has reportedly already backed out of the festival. It’s unclear if other artists have or will follow suit.
An Instagram account for Fyre Fest has revealed that they are “working to comfortably accommodate guests and deliver a great experience” for those already on the island. Additionally, “all inbound charter flights to the Exumas have been canceled,” and those unable to make it to the island will receive refunds.

50 Cent Catered the event just to spite Rule.
The company that put this together will never have any credibility ever again. Dont let them gloss over how egregious this is with their corporate speak. The people in charge of this are obviously absolute scum bags part of some greedy corporation. On a side note, thats so Ja rule, that lil mark ass buster.
Everything Ja Rule tries to do now a days is a complete disaster, dude can’t stay out of his own way and can’t help but get involved in shady business ventures. Any brand associated w/ Ja Rule is BS, just know that going forward.
sounds like the worlds most expensive refugee camp HOLLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
