"On Saturday and Sunday, McFarland ran it back with a smaller crowd, a mix of parties, excursions, and musical guests like French Montana as the headliner on Utila Bay, an island off the coast of Honduras. General admission tickets to PHNX cost $599. VIP passes went for up to $140,000 and included round-trip flights from Miami. PHNX offered all attendees brunch, lunch, dinner, and a handful of excursions, including scuba diving and a cave hike, in their ticket packages."
"The itinerary was a far cry from the events that unfolded in 2017. Where unsanitary or simply unavailable bathrooms became a hallmark of Fyre Festival's failures, McFarland showed off a "bathroom barge" of floating port-a-potties for PHNX. He also shared fresh fruit stands and food options, including lobster, steak, and fresh salads - a much different menu from the infamous cheese sandwiches served at the first Fyre Festival."
Billy McFarland hosted PHNX, pronounced 'Phoenix,' on Utila Bay, an island off Honduras, drawing dozens of attendees over a weekend. The festival featured parties, excursions, and musical acts including headliner French Montana. Ticket tiers ranged from $599 general admission to VIP packages up to $140,000 that included round-trip flights from Miami. Attendee packages included brunch, lunch, dinner, and excursions such as scuba diving and a cave hike. McFarland provided upgraded amenities including floating port-a-potty 'bathroom barge,' fresh fruit stands, lobster, steak, and salads, contrasting the failures of the 2017 Fyre Festival. The event was livestreamed and heavily documented on social media.
