[Update] Fyre Festival officially cancelled & statement from Bahamas

After the mess that was the beginning of the Fyre Festival, the festival organizers finally threw in the towel saying the event is ‘posponed.’ Which we believe is code for cancelled and never coming back due to the PR mess they caused.

Fyre Festival set out to provide a once-in-a-lifetime musical experience on the islands of Exuma. Due to circumstances beyond our control, we must postpone this experience. We are working tirelessly to ensure each guest leaves the island safely and ask for everyone’s patience and cooperation as we continue to provide ongoing updates via email and our official social media channels as they become available, including refund information.
