NASSAU, BAHAMAS — The Ministry of Tourism has advised that no application has been made to the Government of The Bahamas for consideration of any event promoted by Billy McFarland or any entity or parties known to be associated with him.
In a statement today, officials shot down speculation that McFarland was launching a new venture in The Bahamas.
“McFarland was the organizer of the Fyre Festival several years ago, a notorious charade for which McFarland was convicted and sent to prison in the USA,” the statement read.
“The Government of The Bahamas will not endorse or approve any event in The Bahamas associated with him. He is considered to be a fugitive, with several pending complaints made against him with the Royal Bahamas Police Force (RBPF).
“Anyone knowing of his whereabouts should report same to the RBPF,” the statement added.
