The Fyre Festival brand is officially on the market. Billy McFarland, the man who orchestrated the disastrous 2017 event, announced the sale Wednesday. This news follows the recent postponement of Fyre Festival 2, which was intended to be a revamped version of the original.
McFarland did not specify a price for the brand. The original Fyre Festival, promoted as a luxury music festival in the Bahamas, became notorious for its lack of infrastructure, poor accommodations, and unfulfilled promises. The event resulted in McFarland being sentenced to prison for fraud. Despite the negative association, McFarland appears to believe the brand still holds value. The postponement of Fyre Festival 2 occurred without a new date being announced, leaving many wondering if the event will ever materialize. Interested parties can now contact McFarland to discuss purchasing the Fyre Festival brand.
