Over the weekend, there’s no doubt that you watched the eventual unravelling of Fyre Festival into the biggest shit-storm of 2017 thus far.
The festival – initially intended for affluent youngsters who wanted to drink cocktails with Bella Hadid and see Blink 182 in the Bahamas – surprised punters when they arrived to disaster relief tents, half-built facilities and ‘gourmet catering’ aka sloppy sandwiches served in styrofoam.

With organisers (including Ja Rule) now facing a lawsuit marking well over $100 million for the monumental fuck-up, we’ve been watching on to Tweets, Reddit posts and Instagram for an insight into the chaos, giving us quick glimpses into this slow-motion car crash.
