A Comprehensive Timeline of Fyre Festival’s Ongoing Disaster [UPDATE]
For those who love irony and have problems with the selfie culture this umm, festival must have been
sweet. A mention of it on tv just now and the fact i didn't recall hearing of it before prompted this post.

In retrospect, Fyre Festival was clearly too good to be true. The upstart festival, launched by would-be tech entrepreneur Billy McFarland and musician Ja Rule, promised headliners like Blink-182, Migos, and Major Lazer, spread over two weekends on a lush private island “once owned by Pablo Escobar” in the Bahamas’ Exumas district. Tickets ran to several thousand dollars, or as much as $250,000 for the deluxe packages.
The promised amenities were lavish—elegant villa-style housing, gourmet catering, beach yoga, bikini-clad models aboard rented jet skis and yachts. Perhaps wildest of all was the promised real-life treasure hunt, which was said to offer up to $1 million in “luxury jewelry and watches [and] cash,” plus a piece of oceanfront property for the winner. But we all know what really happened: A bunch of well-off young people really did buy tickets, and made it as far as the Exumas, where they found a Lord of the Flies-style “disaster tent city” with no villas, no bands, and no models.
