Okay... if you haven't heard about the Fyre Festival debacle... you haven't been on social media in the last two days. If that is the case all you need to do is look through the #FyreFestival hashtag on any social media platform to get the info and an amazing laugh.
I am an avid music festival lover and attendee... so I was shocked, appalled and disgusted by what went down. After I got a few chuckles in, I was really confused as to why this happened as there hasn't been any real answers to explain any of it. Fyre Festival has issued a statement in regards to the situation but even that sounds like a load of confusing crap.
But let's not harbor on the FUCKING nightmare that was Fyre Festival... and let's look forward to all the amazing music festivals on the horizon. These festivals won't cost you 12 thousand dollars, and they have substantial records of success so you don't have to worry about being negatively surprised/caught off guard about what's to come. And trust me, when a music festival is done right the memories and the money intertwine into an amazing experience.

These music festivals are sure to be a BOMB time ... and most of them include some of my absolute favorite artists. As you can see I bolded Chance the Rapper several times as he is certainly making his rounds in the festival circuit during his tour.
