Fyre Festival Brand Revived by Honduran Hotel Owner for Pop-Up Event: ‘I’m Well Aware of Billy’s Past’
A Fyre Festival pop-up event has been planned at a Honduras island hotel and resort. The hotel's owner is reviving the event with Billy McFarland.
A Honduras-based hotel owner says he’s reviving the Fyre Festival brand alongside Billy McFarland as a pop-up experience at his island resort, marking the latest twist in a bizarre saga. In Miller’s estimation, the controversy around the disastrous 2018 festival — which garnered international headlines when ticketholders arrived on a Bahamian island to find that the promised luxury event had not been realized — may ultimately be the biggest draw. Miller adds he’s well aware of McFarland’s past failures with Fyre Festival, most famously with the disastrous first edition in 2018, which left hundreds of fans temporarily trapped on Grand Exuma island.
