The first year of a boutique festival is notoriously hard for most organizers, but there might be no topping Fyre Festival's experience.

The event found its first break in the public eye through a major social media campaign that called upon the likes of famous celebrities like Kendall Jenner, Emily Ratajkowski, and Bella Hadid to post on Instagram, showing off the festival's beach paradise offerings. It had a price tag to match its glamour, selling tickets anywhere from $4,000 to $12,000, which included a chartered flight from Miami to the "private island", villas and access to a yacht.

The festival, organized by Ja Rule and Billy McFarland’s Fyre Media company, also came equipped with a music lineup, which boasted artists like Major Lazer, Disclosure, Skepta, Kaytranada and hip hop-tipped names like artists from Kanye's G.O.O.D. Music, Rae Sremmurd and more.

The bad news began when news of Blink-182, a scheduled headliner, cancelled their performance at the festival. "Regrettably, and after much careful and difficult consideration, we want to let you know that we won't be performing at Fyre Fest in the Bahamas this weekend and next weekend. We're not confident that we would have what we need to give you the quality of performances we always give fans," a statement on the band's Twitter explained.

It seems the band might've been onto something, as shortly after Twitter began to explode with live information from attendees that had just arrived at the supposed luxury escape, finding the bare minimum set-up in replacement of promised top-tier accommodations and amenities.
