'The influencer Fyre Festival': Fashion label Revolve's star-studded Coachella event descends into 'Hunger Games'-style chaos with guests 'fighting and screaming' after being 'stranded in the dirt' for hours - with some even 'PASSING OUT' from heat

Photos from this weekend's Revolve Festival show smiling influencers in trendy outfits, posing in front of picture-perfect scenes — but according to some who had invites, the experience wasn't quite as glamorous as images indicate.

Several attendees at the event, which played host to several celebrities, including Kim Kardashian, Halsey, and Kendall Jenner, have complained of 'poor transportation' and 'bad management,' saying that they were stranded in a parking lot for hours waiting for shuttles that didn't come.

Antsy ticket-holders were left hot and dizzy with no water, leading to several allegedly passing out.

Some complained of 'pushing, shoving, and shouting' as influencers fought for spaces on buses when they finally did arrive - prompting comparisons to the infamous Fyre Festival and the dystopian Hunger Games series.

The bus drivers should have dropped these "influencers" out in the middle of nowhere. Maybe give them a map and a compass.

Why can't the attendees just drive a car or take a taxi to the festival?

"I don't know who the F these people are. I don't who is actually important and who is lying, or if any of them are important."

Here's a clue - if you're waiting in the sun for hours in order to catch a bus, you aren't important:

Revolve Festival also had a roster of celebrities turn up — though none of them would have had to take the buses.

This one has a long way to go to match the pure degradation of the Fyre festival. Styrofoam containers of two slices of bread and a single slice of processed cheese posing as "gourmet meals cooked by celebrity chefs" are a darn tough standard to meet. I shall shed a tear for the Beautiful People. OK, I'm done.

"'Security had crowds of influencers yelling how "important they were and why they deserved the first seat,"' he continued. He described 'chaos,' quoting a security guard who said: 'I don't know who the F these people are. I don't who is actually important and who is lying, or if any of them are important."

Typical of the shallow, self-absorbed.

Didn’t this happen before, about three years or so ago? Seems I recall a bunch of self-absorbed kids being all up in arms about some event or other. I remember sandwiches in Styrofoam containers were involved, along with waiting for something for hours.

The Fyre Festival fiasco makes for entertaining viewing.

“Organisers of the 2017 event had promised a luxury two-weekend Bahamas getaway, with tickets costing upwards of $1,200. The event reportedly sold about 8,000 tickets with an advertised musical line-up that boasted of top artists, luxury accommodation and gourmet dining. Some VIP packages sold for as much as $12,000.”

The timing suggests that this event is intended as a pagan alternative to Easter.

At least these folks got to attend a festival eventually. Did anyone actually perform at the Fyre festival, or did all the musical acts go home or never show up?

I think the clothing company’s festival was tagging along with the Coachella music festival.

“There are also reports of fights and screaming, with attendees arguing that they were more ‘important’ and should be allowed on buses first once they arrived”

not women, children, elderly and the ill first, but “I’M THE MOST IMPORTANT!” ...

Ditto for the Coachella Festival, if they dropped a nuke on that place I wouldn’t shed a tear.

One local band performed, IIRC, on what was to be the night before the festival. About 500 attendees were greeted with FEMA tents and soaked mattresses that had been left out in the rain. And there weren’t even enough of those.

“a security guard who said: ‘I don’t know who the F these people are. I don’t who is actually important and who is lying, or if any of them are important.’”

really, NONE of them are “important” if they’re waiting for a bus in the hot sun and the security guards never heard of any of them ...

I’ll bet the local Bahamians were real impressed with that whole scene.

An event full of narcissistic wannabe “influencers.” What could go wrong?

It’s a travesty that those “influencers” had to wait a whole two hours for a shuttle bus. Oh, the horrors. Didn’t they know ‘who’ those influencers were?
