The Satisfying Downfall of Fyre Festival

Description

Fyre Festival was a high-profile bonanza turned fiasco: planned for April 2017 on Great Exuma Island in the Bahamas, it was marketed by Ja Rule and entrepreneur Billy McFarland as an ultra-luxury music experience with A‑list influencers, glamping domes, supermodels, and top musical acts. However, when attendees arrived, they were met with half-built tents, soggy mattresses, scant food (think cheese sandwiches), poor sanitation, no power, and canceled performances—prompting immediate chaos and public evacuation.
