This sounds like it's turning into Lord of the Flies. Reddit is down and rumor has it it's because this is being censored. Rich, young hipsters paying $4000+ for a weekend.

The festival grounds were littered with barely-erected, unfurnished tents and piles of trash. The gourmet meals that festival-goers were promised consisted of sad-looking cheese sandwiches. The guests' luggage was thrown from the back of a truck onto the ground, and security was nowhere to be found when attendees began engaging in verbal and physical confrontations. From here

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Poor little rich kids got scammed. Being rich doesn’t give you brains nor immuninize you from falling into heard mentality.

Dope smoking rappers ‘organizing’ a festival on a remote island.

What could go wrong?

I suspect a whole lot of those rich kids’ lawyers will be keeping the event hosts busy in court.

Folks who have never actually been to an equatorial beach see those photos and think it must be just paradise. You have to have been to these places to realize just what it is really like. 98 degrees with 99 percent humidity gets old real fast. The flies and gnats never seem to show up in the photos but they are everywhere when you are actually there. And they all bite. And the bites itch. Like hell.

And in the perpetual land of manana what ever stuff the previous visitors brought and left is still there. It is called trash. Since man has been everywhere on the globe now the easy to get to places like beaches have had a good number of prior visitors and so there is plenty of trash that never seems to be in the photos. Also there is no sewage treatment anywhere in the world, practically, except the US, and the high density urban area just around the point from the swimsuit beaches in the photo shoots is not in the picture nor the smell of the sewage.

So looking at the photos there are smells and things that you don’t see that prevent the place from being the utopia of your dreams. I remember spending an Easter weekend with my wife and kids on a beach adjacent to a stretch of beach that had just perfect conditions for a level stretch a mile or better long where the surf just was a constant boil of white foam with 5 foot waves crashing in every second. The roar was constant and after several hours just annoying. In three days ONE person walked by. The smell of dead and decaying shellfish was persistent. The gnats left us covered in itching sores.

We learned. Beaches are best appreciated from the air conditioned bar...

$4,000 for a weekend? Numbs! Instead, drive up to the Leesburg, Florida BikeFest:

http://www.leesburgbikefest.com/

FREE admission - 300,000-350,000 attendance this Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Largest 3-day bikefest in the world. Safe environment, great bands; better sightseeing!

Been volunteering there since 2112. Leesburg is about 45 minutes north-northwest of Orlando on US 27 (and not far from the Florida Turnpike).

Had no idea what FyreFest was but thanks to FreeRepublic I now have free entertainment...too much Twitter fun...

You paid $10,000 to see Blink 182 in 2017 and were expecting a GOOD time? These people are too stupid to deserve a refund

Best tweet so far, to all the rich kids trapped at Fyre Festival:

"Ja Rule and Billy McFarland"

These two need to be brought up on RICO charges, either NY or MI/FL. This isn't their first bogus hobilly hayride.
