Fyre Festival (2017)

Fyre Festival (2017) remains the most catastrophic event cancellation in history, as thousands of influencer-lured attendees arrived on a Bahamian island to find no festival at all — just FEMA tents, feral dogs, and cheese sandwiches. Organizer Billy McFarland raised $26 million in under six weeks yet failed to book a single performer, leaving guests stranded. This disaster is 300% more fraudulent than #4 Bloc Weekend Festival's chaotic shutdown, which at least had actual music before police intervened.
