Oooh, we can’t wait for this.

Remember Fyre Festival?

The celebrity-promoted ‘event’ was promised to be a massive, luxurious music festival on a private island in the Bahamas. There was meant to be A-list level music performances and plenty of posh amenities.

And once the guests got there they found out that…well, the reality was very far from what they were promised. Like, it couldn’t have been further from what was being promoted.

Now, Netflix have turned the headline-making ‘event’ into a documentary – FYRE: The Greatest Party that Never Happened. 

The streaming service unveiled the trailer for the highly-anticipated documentary earlier this week – and we’re counting down the days until it finally arrives (January 18, FYI).

The description reads:

“An exclusive behind the scenes look at the infamous unraveling of the Fyre music festival.

“Created by Billy McFarland and rapper Ja Rule, Fyre was promoted as a luxury music festival on a private island in the Bahamas featuring bikini-clad supermodels, A-List musical performances and posh amenities.

“Guests arrived to discover the reality was far from the promises.

“Chris Smith, the director behind the Emmy Award Nominated documentary Jim & Andy: The Great Beyond, gives a first-hand look into disastrous crash of Fyre as told by the organisers themselves.

  • FYRE: The Greatest Party that Never Happened premieres on January 18.
