Fyre Festival will probably go down as one of the biggest fuck ups of the digital age. The flop festival, which was sold by influencers and celebs on Instagram, ended up being the stuff of actual nightmares, with people paying thousands of dollars to end up without shelter and a meagre kraft on a piece of bread for sustenance.
What was great was that after the event, we got to re-live it all again with Netflix’s documentary, Fyre: The Greatest Party That Never Happened. That doc gave us Andy King, the festival’s event producer, who said that he was prepared to offer fellatio to Bahamian customs authorities so that those who had forked out cash to attend could at least get some water.
Now for their latest trick, Netflix have just unveiled the trailer for a new horror TV series that takes Fyre Festival and adds a heavy dose of murder. Titled The I-Land, this show looks totally wild. The trailer utilises the same aesthetic from the video that was used to promote Fyre (basically skinny white people on boats jumping into the sea and a swimming pig, interspersed with clips from an EDM festival).
