'It's worse than a refugee camp': Disastrous Bella Hadid-backed Bahamas Fyre Festival is CANCELLED as guests who paid £10,000 say camp is 'over-run with rat s**t' and thugs are looting alcohol

A Bahamas festival backed by a host of A-list models and with packages costing up to £10,000 ($13,000) has descended into chaos amid reports guests have been stranded at an unfinished site overrun by feral dogs.

The boutique Fyre Festival, due to start today and run over two weekends, was billed as a 'cultural moment created from an alchemic blend of music, art, and food'.

But on arrival revellers reported finding half-built tents, rat droppings, dogs wandering around the site, mountains of rubbish and thugs looting alcohol.

Festival organisers said today that the event had been 'fully postponed' due to 'unforeseen and extenuating circumstances' while Bahamas tourism bosses have today offered 'heartfelt apologies'. 

Many revellers say they have been left stranded at Exuma International Airport after opting to return home having seen the festival site.

The homepage for the festival, co-organised by rapper Ja Rule, featured a host of top models including Emily Ratajkowski, Bella Hadid, Alessandra Ambrosio, Hailey Baldwin and Joan Smalls relaxing on the beach and swimming through crystal clear waters.  

A British woman has told MailOnline how she and 30 others had spent £1,000 each on flights believing they were about to enjoy the experience of a lifetime. But a friend who travelled out early described the site as 'worse than a refugee camp.' 

While the festival website had promised 'chef-curated culinary pop ups' one reveller posted a picture of a basic cheese sandwich served out of a polystyrene box. 

Paying guests were told they could expect to stay in 'modern, eco-friendly, geodesic domes' while the super-rich had the option of upgrading to hire yachts for more than $100,00.

However, people arriving on site last night expecting to be pampered with luxurious VIP service likened the 'cabanas' accommodation to disaster zone relief tents.

Others reported seeing piles of rubbish and an empty 'concierge' hut in front of piles of unopened boxes. Pictures emerged online of the 'luxury food court' with people sitting on folding chairs next to a school bus.

Ticket prices ranged from $400 for a day pass to more than $12,750 for a VIP package including flights from Miami, ocean view accommodation in a 'rustic tent' and four festival passes.

A performance line-up over two weekends boasted the likes of Pusha T, Tyga, Blink 182, Major Lazer, Skepta and Disclosure.

But last night Blink 182 pulled out of the event. The band said in a message to fans: 'Regrettably and after much careful consideration, we want to let you know that we won't be performing at Fyre Fest in the Bahamas this weekend and next weekend.

'We're not confident that we would have what we need to give you the quality of performances we always give our fans.'

One Twitter user described the festival as 'Rich Kids of Instagram meets Lord of the Flies'. 

Briton, Tilly Smith, has revealed she was planning on fly to the Fyre festival this week with 30 friends who had spent over £1,000 each thinking they were going to enjoy an experience of a lifetime.

Miss Smith was named the 'Angel of the Tsunami' as  a ten-year-old schoolgirl when she saved her family and hundreds of Thai people by warning a Tsunami was about to hit the beach.

The 22-year-old and her friends had been lured into shelling out a total of £12,000 on tickets alone for the festival by promises of flights on a private jet to the festival site and photos of supermodels frolicking in the warm Bahamas sea.

She said: 'The Fyre festival homepage made it seem so amazing. It was being hailed as the festival of the year with loads of A-list celebs supposed to be going and a line up of really good musical stars.

'We thought it was just going to be out of this world. The photos on the Fyre homepage were sensational, lots of famous models like Bella Hadid playing in the sand and sea, promises of five-star boutique camping with even waiter service and gourmet food.

'We were even going to be whisked from Miami by private jet to the festival, it just seemed like a once in a lifetime thing that was going to be fantastic.

'There was stuff about it all over social media with celebs talking about it and stars posting about it on their Instagram. We thought we we going to be living it up in luxury instead of slumming it like you normally do at a festival.

'All of us were so excited, we all fell for it and decided we'd go as a big group. It's all we've been talking about for weeks.'

Miss Smith and her group were due to jet out this week to Miami where they were going to enjoy a couple of days in the sunshine before being taken by private jet to the Bahamas where the festival was due to take place over two weekends.
