If you are unaware, All Elite Wrestling’s Fyter Fest event takes its name, logo and branding from the fraudulent “luxury music festival” Fyre Festival that took place in 2017. It was attended by more than 4,000 people on the Bahamian island of Exuma. The event was heavily promoted on Instagram by top “social media influencers” including Kendall Jenner (who was reportedly paid $250,000 for a single Instagram post to promote the event), and other celebrities.
The Fyre Festival was a huge disaster as during the inaugural weekend, the event experienced problems related to security, food, accommodation, medical services and artist relations, resulting in the festival being postponed indefinitely. Instead of receiving the promised luxury villas and gourmet meals for which festival attendees paid thousands of dollars, they received pre-packaged sandwiches and FEMA tents, which were declared “free for all”, resulting in absolute chaos.
The AEW boys of course made several spoof references on Twitter to the disastorous event and its organizers before Fyre Festival.
Below are the parody tweets, with some real tweets from Fyre Festival that they are referencing.
