I honestly had to look up what Fyre festvial is. Never heard of it, but
Fyre Festival was a fraudulent luxury music festival organized by American businessman Billy McFarland and American rapper Ja Rule. It was originally created to promote the company’s Fyre app for booking music talent.
In short, it was one of the most spectacular disasters in the history of music festivals. The advertising showed that even the cheapest tickets would get some fancy rooms. Sold out quickly, but all the money was nowhere near enough to even pay for the stage + performers. The island didn’t have housing and they “improvised” some tents for the attendees (they used relief tents like those you see in displaced populations). No food, no water, no bathrooms.
So now there’s supposedly a second festival, of the same name, and am I getting this right, organized by the same dude who was already convicted? And Mexico is saying they have no knowledge of any such event?
I guess they bet on people being idiots - falling for it a second time - and it seems they were right.

Sounds like a real loss, that.

Have you not seen the documentary??
It’s worth a punt.
It’s like a big shan on to all the dickheads that section of that industry attracts
Ah I guess that’s another one for my to-watch-list!
Both documentaries were good. Love it
