Fyre festival founder says event will return despite burnt bridges

It was the festival disaster that gripped the world, a modern-day Lord of the Flies with Instagram influencers instead of schoolchildren.

Nonetheless, the return of the infamous Fyre festival is still on, though it remains uncertain when or where it will be or who may be performing.

Plans to reboot it were announced last summer, but it was feared history might have been repeating itself when no updates were issued.

But the event's co-founder, Billy McFarland, has insisted it is still happening. And tickets have already been sold, with prices from $499 (£379) to $7,999 (£6,070).
