The lawsuit was filed Sunday in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California by Los Angeles-based lawyer Mark Geragos, whose past clients have included Michael Jackson, Nicole Ritchie and Chris Brown.

This time, however, the plaintiff was not a celebrity but a California resident named Daniel Jung, who said he paid about $2,000 for a Fyre Festival ticket package and airfare to the Bahamas. What Jung got was not the luxurious experience he said he was promised.

“The festival’s lack of adequate food, water, shelter, and medical care created a dangerous and panicked situation among attendees — suddenly finding themselves stranded on a remote island without basic provisions — that was closer to ‘The Hunger Games’ or ‘Lord of the Flies’ than Coachella,” the filing stated.

More than 150 other plaintiffs are expected to join the lawsuit, according to the filing.

By now, the epic disaster that was supposed to be the Fyre Festival is legend.

Festivalgoers shelled out anywhere from $450 to $250,000 for the promise of two weekends of live music, luxurious accommodations, gourmet meals and mingling with celebrities on a private island in the Bahamas.

Online, the Fyre Festival — billed as an event with “first-class culinary experiences and a luxury atmosphere” — was hyped with the help of flashy promotional videos and celebrities.
