It's the festival that launched a thousand memes, a jaw-dropping Netflix documentary and made Billy McFarland a household name — for all the wrong reasons.
In 2017 Fyre Festival promised attendees a three-day luxury music experience in the Bahamas. The event, backed by celebrities such as Bella Hadid, Kendall Jenner, and Emily Ratajkowski, was supposed to take place on a private beach on the island of Great Exuma in the Bahamas, featuring headliners like Blink-182.
But, as most people know by now, none of that happened.
From musical artists dropping out to non-existent event infrastructure, Fyre Festival ultimately descended into chaos, and the infamy of what occurred six years ago lives on to this day.
