'Disaster' Fyre Festival in Bahamas hit with $100m lawsuit

Organisers of the Bahamas celebrity festival branded a "complete disaster" have been hit with a $100m lawsuit alleging fraud.

Rapper Ja Rule and his business partners were forced to abort the luxury-themed Fyre Festival on Friday, after hundreds of ticket holders arrived to a festival with no music, no luxury, no proper food or transport.

The event had been advertised as "the cultural experience of a decade", a luxury alternative to the Coachella festival in California, with bikini-clad super models like Bella Hadid and Emily Ratajkowski attending.

But a lawsuit filed by one disgruntled guest said: "The festival's lack of adequate food, water, shelter and medical care created a dangerous and panicked situation among attendees.

"It was closer to The Hunger Games or Lord of the Flies than Coachella."
