VestiVille - Belgium Fyre festival

A luxury festival VestiVille - with Ja Rule! - was supposed to take place last this weekend, in Kristalpark, Lommel, Belgium, but it was cancelled. The bill boasted appearances from Ashanti, Cardi B, Future, A$AP Rocky, Migos, Meek Mill, and a promotional video for the fest, featuring a terrible Cardi B impersonator, promised guests luxury VIP villas with private gardens and room service, Def Pen reports. Concertgoers who arrived at the grounds were met with chaos and confusion. The morning of the festival, A$AP Rocky pulled out, citing “security and infrastructure concerns", less than an hour later, the entire festival was cancelled. By the time of the cancellation, festival-goers had already been waiting for hours at the camp site. There was no food, water, or transportation available. Some attendees managed to get inside the locked fence of the festival grounds, where they helped themselves to beer, danced on the stage, and emptied fire extinguishers. The organizers have now been charged with fraud involving false invoices, forgery, money laundering, and abuse of trust as a result of complaints brought by unpaid suppliers, the Brussels Times reports.
