“We had no other options this morning, so we began the process of getting guests quickly and safely back to Miami, which continues now,” organizers said on Saturday, while promising full refunds for every attendee. “Our top priority as a company is to ensure the comfort and safe return home of all of our guests.”
Yet, Fyre insisted that it would rise from the ashes of this experience, saying that various venues, bands and other individuals had reached out “and said they’d do anything to make this festival a reality and how they wanted to help.”
They added: “People were rooting for us after the worst day we’ve ever had as a company. After speaking with our potential partners, we have decided to add more seasoned event experts to the 2018 Fyre Festival, which will take place at a United States beach venue.”
