ON THE SUBJECT: From Warped Tour to Fyre Fraud — Festivals Then vs. Now

Before Coachella became an influencer runway and festivals turned into content farms, we had the real deal — Warped Tour, Lollapalooza, Lilith Fair, and muddy fields packed with sweaty, screaming fans who were there for the music, not the ‘fit check.

Tonight, we’re cranking the nostalgia dial all the way up in our Retro Rewind segment as we look back on the best music festivals from the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s. Sharpie setlists, CD tents, crowd-surfing, and that one band you discovered live that changed your life? Yeah, we’re going there.

Then we’re hitting the absurdity of the moment: Fyre Festival 2.0 is apparently a real thing again. The original was a scam so iconic it got two documentaries and a prison sentence — and now people are actually buying tickets to the sequel. We’re diving into the fraud, the hype, the influencer delusion, and asking the only real question: WHY ARE PEOPLE LIKE THIS?

Come for the throwbacks, stay for the takedown. This is On The Subject, and tonight we’re talking festivals, frauds, and why the cheese sandwich lives rent-free in our brains forever.
