This is how Fyre Festival was advertised beforehand.
Instead of dancing on the white-sand beaches of Great Exuma in the Bahamas, Fyre Festival-goers have found themselves stranded in airports without any food or water, unable to get home.This three-day party, organized by Ja Rule and tech entrepreneur Billy McFarland's Fyre Media company, was due to take place on a private beach in the Bahamas for two weekends (April 28-30 and May 5-7).
But guests, who had spent between $450 and $12,000 on tickets, are describing the festival as a "complete disaster," with half-built tents, delayed flights, and no one around to help.
