Social media has been abuzz with Fyre Festival comparisons and rumors of attendees contemplating a class action lawsuit.
According to a slew of irate attendees, the 2021 edition of Elements Music & Arts Festival lived up to its name after a storm ravaged the campgrounds—and the event’s infrastructure.
After proprietors promoted a “lakefront paradise” experience, the Pennsylvania-based festival was blasted by ticket-holders reporting crippling logistical issues and an alarming lack of organization. Elements began Friday, September 3rd and will conclude today, September 6th.
A public Facebook group developed to air grievances against the camping festival, dubbed “Elements Shit Show 2021,” has amassed over 1,300 members in less than 24 hours. Its contents paint a grim picture of an understaffed, ill-equipped event with legions of incoming refund requests due to what many have deemed neglectful conduct.
Psytrance had a similar experience back in 2001. We were all too fucked up to care.
