The whole concept of Fyre Fest I'd leveraging social media influencers to extract money from the influenced; it's it exactly a Kickstarter-friendly concept (well, unless you use the influencers to promote a KS itself.)

As to a Kickstarted festival of the type Fyre purported to offer purchasers, it seems to be explicitly prohibited by Kickstarter's terms, falling squarely into the travel services / vacation packages prohibition.
