Los Angeles Magazine editor Joseph Kapsch tweeted about the event, citing sources on the ground, including one who compared it to 2017’s Fyre Festival. “Influencers stranded in the dirt with no water, under the hot sun for HOURS waiting for buses that were coming to bring them to the actual festival,” Kapsch wrote. “‘Alleged fights, screaming, everyone is dizzy.'”
He added, “Security had crowds of influencers yelling how ‘important they were and why they deserved the first seat.'”
TikToker Hannah Kosh, who said she was at the 2022 Revolve Festival, agreed with the description. “You guys, it was all of that and more,” Kosh noted in a video. “People were raiding the buses, the bus drivers refused to come back, I saw three people pass out in line myself—wild.”
