    It's a shame. This side of the world really needs some festivals. The only thing close, Coachella, is ridiculous. The US and Canada need events like Big Weekend, or Glastonbury, or Tea in the Park, etc. It's sad when you have to fly across an ocean to have a good weekend of music...

    Not a great fan myself, but what happened to the legendary Woodstock?

    ... Well I came across this child of God as he was walking down the road
    When I asked him where he's going he said nowhere

    If there are not enough music festivals now, somebody should see to that. Our Fyre friend just counterfeits tickets for those that now exist.

    Not a fan of that...

    I watched the above and enjoyed it. Hulu released their own documentary a few days before this one. Will be watching that one soon.

    I'd totally forgotten about his NYC VIP ticket scam that he started after he the Fyre Festival fiasco.

    Fyre Festival fraudster Billy McFarland said he scammed everyone because he’s bipolar. Prosecutors say he's a liar. – VICE News mentions his nutty spending of other people's money.

    The one on Hulu is more accurate and so much better. The one on Netflix is a PR production by the actual PR team to make them seem like victims, which they clearly were not, but rather the ones who allowed the lies to grow, and convince more people they needed to go to the festival,

    Who is bidding on this dreck, and why pay $300+ for a simple ball cap or $36 for two (2) silicon bracelets.
