Fyre Festival turns into Social Media #DumpsterFyre

Fyre Festival, the Bahamas-bound, Insta-model endorsed music fest is officially a disaster. Touted as  a ‘cultural moment created from an alchemic blend of music, art, and food’, patrons were greeted by a festival site that wouldn’t look out of place in Children of Men.

The promised A-list models and boutique tents in reality turned out to be wild dogs and hastily-assembled emergency shelter, all for tasty ticket prices upwards of 10K. Evidently, Twitter has latched onto the catastrophe and run with it. Here are some of the best responses from #FyreFestival below:
