“IT’S HELL” AND “SCAM OF THE CENTURY”: KIDS TRYING TO ESCAPE SOLSTICE FESTIVAL STUCK ON AIRPORT TARMAC, OTHERS STILL TRAPPED ON ISLAND.

EAST MYLA ISLAND: Reports are trickling in from the Solstice Festival on Myla Island, which is mostly unreachable by cell signal despite festival organizers having promised “unlimited Wi-Fi hotspots,” “luxury accommodations,” and “a weekend you’ll never forget.”

It has been a weekend concertgoers will never forget—just not in the way they expected.

In interviews with several groups that were able to board a shuttle from the festival site back to Myla Airport, travelers were shocked by the “primitive” conditions of the festival, including limited food, little drinking water, filthy restrooms, and no sleeping accommodations. “Quite a few of us had to sleep on the ground—in the rain,” said one young woman from Scottsdale, Arizona. “There were no blankets, no pillows. I paid for a three-bedroom suite with a wraparound balcony and strawberries and cream in bed.”

For 23-year-old Chase Hutchins of Annapolis, Maryland, the sign to leave was when he contracted a strange rash on his leg after a walk through some thistle overgrowth to get to the actual concert site. There was no first-aid station on the festival grounds, and when he asked a Solstice worker if someone could arrange for him to go to a medical clinic elsewhere on the island, he was very forcefully talked out of it. “I have an Amex Black card,” Chase said. “I could probably buy that island if I wanted. I knew there were medical facilities on the normal part of the island, and I just wanted to rent a motor scooter to find them. But I was being held captive.” Hutchins was able to receive proper medical care when he returned to Myla West.

But some still remain on the island, waiting for the festival to start. One woman said she was “praying” for those who’d remained—“to Buddha, a bunch of crystals, and even Cthulhu!” It is unclear which bands are still committed to performing, but currently, more than nine acts have dropped out, citing the poor conditions.

Zack Frazier, the organizer of Solstice, could not be reached for comment.
