In short, it was one of the most spectacular disasters in the history of music festivals. The advertising showed that even the cheapest tickets would get some fancy rooms. Sold out quickly, but all the money was nowhere near enough to even pay for the stage + performers. The island didn't have housing and they "improvised" some tents for the attendees (they used relief tents like those you see in displaced populations). No food, no water, no bathrooms.
All of them rely on govt way, way more than anyone else. Of course they try to paint themselves as entrepreneurs who pull themselves by the bootstraps without no help from anyone
