Revolve Issues a Statement After Its Coachella Event Is Compared to Fyre Festival
Revolve, bless, has released a statement about its Coachella-adjacent festival, which has drawn unfortunate Fyre Festival comparisons from unhappy influencers. As Los Angeles magazine’s editor Joseph Kapsch put it on Twitter in a poetic description, “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. ‘Alleged fights, screaming, everyone is dizzy.’”
And yes, there are TikToks aplenty:
So, what was Revolve’s response? Ahem:
“In anticipation of the high level of interest in attending Revolve Festival this year, Revolve worked closely with all appropriate city and safety authorities to ensure a safe and secure path for guests to access the two-day invitation-only event,” a representative told E! News. “With an event of this magnitude, city regulations mandate an off-site location for guest check-in and parking as well as licensed shuttle transportation to and from the venue. The off-site lot was set up with guest parking as well as rideshare drop-off and pickup access with added WIFI for car booking, restrooms, shade, water, medics, and security.”
The statement continued, “As the festival was reaching capacity late Saturday afternoon, shuttle access to the venue was limited in order to remain in compliance with safety requirements, causing longer wait times for entry and resulting in some guests not being able to attend the festival. The safety of our guests is of the utmost importance to us and we will always make that a priority. We sincerely apologize to all the guests who were impacted. We always strive to provide a great experience and we promise to do better.”
