Viral Storm Area 51 FB group now has a spin-off festival called “Alienstock” in the works, but could it be a disaster?

• Created by Matty Roberts - the person responsible for the viral “Storm Area 51” Facebook event which turned out to be a satirical event/page


• Rachel Nevada is where Alienstock is supposed to take place - website link


• Supposed to take place Sept 20-22.


• It’s a town of only 100 people! No gas within 50 miles.


• Locals say that people should NOT come and that residents will step up to protect their property if they do.


• Apparently the organizers have NOT requested a permit to hold the event on federal public land - something that they would need should the festival expand beyond private property.


• The organizers are purportedly putting together a lineup mostly of EDM artists. However, the town of Rachel warns that a ‘dubious group’ is taking control of the event.


• The rock-group Willy Savage is the only confirmed attending artist
