Bahamas, May 1, 2017 – Nassau – The organizers of the Fyre Festival, a luxury music event scheduled for Exuma this weekend, which was cancelled and branded a “disaster”, have released a statement apologizing for what happened.
The group praised the Bahamian government and Ministry of Tourism for their “exemplary efforts” and said they intend to make a “considerable donation” to the Bahamas Red Cross Society.
The statement reads: “Yesterday was a very challenging day for all of us. But we would like to fully explain what happened.
“They (organizers) simply weren’t ready for what happened next, or how big this thing would get.”, the statement said.
The organizers praised the Bahamian government, saying “We’re grateful for the Bahamian Government and The Bahamas Ministry of Tourism for their assistance during this challenging time—their efforts have been exemplary. We want to thank the people of the Bahamas for their support and for graciously allowing us the privilege of visiting their islands. We apologize for any inconvenience the past 24-hours has caused and we look forward to making a considerable donation to the Bahamas Red Cross Society as part of our initiatives. We need to make this right. And once we make this right, then we will put on the dream festival we sought to have since the inception of Fyre.”
All festival goers this year will be refunded in full. The guests from this year will also have free VIP passes to next year’s festival.
