What did the influencers say about the Revolve Festival? compare it to Fyre Festival
3 min readThe Revolve Festival is undoubtedly one of Coachella’s most well-known events. While the two events are not affiliated with each other. And are not organised by the same corporation, they share many of the same visitors as Coachella. Post Malone, Migos, Ty Dolla $ign, Jack Harlow, Willow Smith, and Latto were among the performers at this year’s event. On April 16 and 17, celebrities such as Leonardo DiCaprio, Timothée Chalamet, Halsey, Kim Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, and others attended the festival. This year, though, several participants grumbled about the organisers’ poor handling. Many people resorted to TikTok and other social media sites after the festival to express their dissatisfaction with it.
Wow the Revolve festival at Coachella was the MOST unorganized event I’ve ever gone too. They had ppl waiting outside in the heat with no water, there was no data to even call a Uber to leave. I was sitting in line for 3 hours. There’s so much more omg

The influencers’ reactions to Revolve Festival: What did they say?
The lack of shuttle service at the location was the principal subject of many TikTok influencers’ criticisms. Many participants were forced to wait more than two hours. For a transportation bus to take them to the main site. Attendees were left trapped in the searing heat at the Merv Griffin Estate in La Quinta, California, due to the transportation delay. In addition, many of the guests did not have access to water due to the extreme heat of the desert. There were long lineups at the shuttle service, according to some TikTokers, because the only way to get to the festival’s main grounds was via their specific buses.
6. Have a clear plan. The Fyre, I mean Revolve Festival’s Jack Harlow closing performance was absolute chaos, blocked off streets, forced shuttle service, influencers running over influencers, models fainting from stress, crying, screaming, police and their rottweilers barking…

Averie Bishop, a TikTok influencer with over 700,000 followers, made a video telling her 700,000+ followers about her bad experience at the festival. “I didn’t even get into the festival, guys,” Bishop stated in her video. I stood in line for (the Shuttle) for two hours.”
The festival organised by online shop Revolve was strongly likened to the Fyre Festival, which was launched by suspected scam artist Billy McFarland in 2013. People had similar experiences during the festival, which was supposedly a ruse to induce attendees to pay money. The fundamental reason for such similarities with the Fyre Festival was the incompetence of the Revolve Festival’s transportation management.
