AREA 51 MUSIC FESTIVAL?!

If you’ve been anywhere near Facebook or any part of social media this summer then you definitely heard about the “Storm Area 51 Raid” event, that until recently deleted, had millions of people signed up to go.

With the deletion of the Storm Area 51 Raid Event there has come a new event – Alienstock a festival claiming to be set in Rachel, Nevada. The website claims they plan to have Art Installations, a party in the desert, camping & music.. all in Rachel, Nevada a town with 98 humans, no gas station and no store.

Now the town of Rachel Nevada is apparently taking this as a VERY SERIOUS event and they are most definitely not on board with the Alien Stock Festival. The town’s website is warning people to stay away with its recent rise to popularity through the memes on social media.

September 20th, the date Alienstock festival starts, is just around the corner so the official website for the town of Rachel has gone as far as to issue a statement, claiming that the event will “undoubtedly attract crooks trying to capitalize on the chaos”.

They go on to say: “With the social media attention this event is getting we want to clarify a few points for those not familiar with this area. Other than the Little A’Le’Inn, a small bar/restaurant/motel there are no services in Rachel. There is no gas and no store. The Inn is booked for that weekend.

“This event will undoubtedly attract crooks trying to capitalize on the chaos. Be on your guard and always lock your vehicle. And stay away from the residential part of Rachel. Most residents do not like where this event is going and will respond accordingly.”

When you check out the Alienstock Festival website you’ll find directions to Rachel, Nevada and a donation button. Suspicious to say the least. We have a hunch this is just a ruse for someone to earn a bit of extra money but hey – it is a decent looking website to further the meme that may never die.
