Fyre Festival

Fyre festival was supposed to be an up and coming, massive, luxurious, music festival in the Bahamas. Tickets cost between $500 to $1,200 with an impressive artist line up including : Blink 182, Major Lazer, Disclosure, and many others. Many celebrities including multiple Victoria's Secret models, Kendall Jenner and Hailey Baldwin have promoted the festival on all forms of social media including instagram and twitter. Because of these celebrities influence and promoting skills, many people have bought tickets to the anticipated festival. However, the festival seems to be the exact opposite of what it promised. Most of the music acts have dropped out of the festival, the luxurious tents and canopies that were promised are actually left over disaster relief tents from USAid, and the gourmet meals turned out to be anything but. Interesting how much trust people put in celebrities who are paid to promote new events and products.

Here is an interesting article from one of the people who worked on the festival: http://nymag.com/thecut/2017/04/fyre-festival-exumas-bahamas-disaster.html
