As sequels go, Fyre Festival 2 — due to be held in the summer of 2024 — is as unlikely as eg: Waterworld 2: More Water, or Liz Truss having a second pop at being prime minister. And yet, as all terrible, mad things eventually do, it’s happening!
The first Fyre Festival, for those who don’t remember, was described, in the subsequent and many lawsuits, as being like The Hunger Games or Lord of the Flies. Which would have been cool if it was either a smash-hit movie starring Jennifer Lawrence or a classic GCSE text. Unfortunately, Fyre Festival was supposed to be a super-luxurious A-list festival held in the Bahamas that promised attendees the chance to hang out with the supermodels Kendall Jenner and Bella Hadid, enjoy top-class accommodation in “futuristic geodesic domes” and the finest of foods from “celebrity chefs”. As an additional extra, you could “swim with pigs” — not a Mafia euphemism, but a genuine option for those into piscine/porcine mash-ups.
