Pollstar: There are three music festivals from 2017 that will stick in almost everyone’s minds – two that never happened and one that ended in tragedy.
Fyre Festival, co-organized by Ju Rule and Fyre Media’s Billy McFarland, was to debut as a luxurious “once-in-a-lifetime” two-weekend event but was canceled at the last minute after festivalgoers had already started arriving in the Bahamas. Fyre became a nightmare for guests who were stuck on the island with bare-bones food and accommodations and now McFarland faces more than a dozen civil lawsuits in connection to the festival. Fyre Media was forced into Chapter 7 bankruptcy in July and the 25-year-old McFarland pleaded not guilty to wire fraud and making false statements in October.
