Fyre F#ck Fest

The trainwreck of a event didn't happen, but this party will — and it's donating a portion of bar sales to the festival's workers.

Overview

You saw the huge Fyre Festival social media campaign, featuring every Instagram celebrity imaginable cavorting on a scenic Bahamas island. You witnessed the massive fallout when the fest didn't turn out as planned — how could you have missed it?. And in just the past few weeks, you watched Netflix's revealing Fyre doco, which details the whole mess. You might've even watched it more than once, because it's that mind-boggling and compelling.

Now, you can head on over to Black Bear Lodge, listen to tunes by acts who were supposed to play the event, and help those who were left high and dry in the aftermath. That's Fyre F#ck Fest, which takes over the Valley venue from 8pm on Wednesday, March 6.

Fyre Fest itself didn't happen, but you can bet this party will (and that it'll be must better organised, obviously). Tracks by Major Lazer, Disclosure, Migos, Blink 182, Lil Yachty and more will provide the soundtrack, tropical cocktails will set the mood, and a portion of bar sales will go to Exuma Point Resort and Pamela Carter — who didn't get paid for their catering work when the fest imploded.
