Coachella appears to have already descended into ‘chaos’ with dozens of attendees already branding it ‘the worst in history’ and comparing it to the disastrous Fyre Festival – despite doors not even officially being open.
The iconic music festival held in California, which runs across two weekends every year, will open its gates later today to a sea of A-list celebrities and ticketholders.
But car campers have taken to social media in their droves this morning to relay the carnage in the car parks.
On X, formerly Twitter, some users claimed that they were waiting up to 12 hours to reach the campsite.
‘Hearing lots of reports of Coachella getting off to a rough start for campers today — some have waited as long as 12+ hours to reach a campsite, including one person who sent the DM below,’ one account wrote, as they shared a screenshot of a text they had received from a person stuck in traffic.
‘Not only did we show up at 2am to get in line to get a good spot, but now have waited OVER 12 hours to even get to the security check,’ they claimed.
‘No porta potties in sight as we waited from 2am until 3pm now. The only porta potties available were at the security checkpoint inside the gates. We were turned down all 12 hours and were forced to pee on the side of the roads. A lot of people running out of gas and not restrooms,’ the message continued.
‘This is the worst organization I have ever seen at a festival and this is Coachella for god sakes.’
