Move Over, Fyre Festival: Woodstock '99 Was Even Worse (Podcast)

The disastrous Woodstock ’99, the subject of a new podcast from Luminary and the Ringer, was also the subject of a podcast we made back in January

“In case you’re wondering,” one reveler wrote, “those ‘cabanas’ are actually disaster relief tents.”

  • Let them eat cheese sandwiches. One attendee posted this pic of the dinner served at the luxury festival which included bread, cheese and salad with dressing. 

    @Tr3vor

  • This Fyre attendee tagged the Washington Post and the Weather Channel with the caption: “disaster at Exumas Georgetown international airport.”

    @uhhric

  • This guy tried to use his VIP status to get off the island: “Hey @delta and @AmericanAir, not you United, can you come to the Exuma airport and save us? I have an Artist Pass.”

    @WNFIV

  • Someone snapped a shot of one of the notebooks from a festival organizer with a list of all the essentials, including 50 cases of pineapple juice, 6,000 Altoids and 3,000 Milky Ways. A comment left on the Instagram post perhaps summed it up best: “This kinda looks like when I planned my 13th bday party.”

  • After two hours on the runway waiting to take off, this reveler got his “Chex Mix ration.”

    @wnfiv

  • This guy seems to have made the best of the situation. “Pigs make great wingmen!!!” he wrote. “Personally, I had a fucking blast at #fyrefestival The press blew it way out of proportion.”

  • No need for a carousel. “This is how Fyre Fest handles luggage. Just drop it out of a shipping container. At night. With no lights,” one partygoer quipped.

    @WNFIV

  • The posh event came complete with this “view of the luxury food court” and “luxury school bus transportation,” according to this angry attendee.

    @WNFIV

  • We’ve seen worse… then again, we never paid thousands of dollars for accommodations.

  • This just makes us sad.
