But the reality was very different: delayed flights, half-built huts to sleep in, and cold cheese sandwiches to eat. And that doesn't even include the disastrous trip home.

It turned into a nightmare.  Take a look at festival-goers' expectations compared with the reality they encountered.  The full promo video is available to watch here:    The three-day party was supposed to be on a private beach on the island of Great Exuma in the Bahamas.
