Would you trust Ja and Billy again? (Picture: Netflix)
Rejoice, you can finally get the full Fyre Festival experience you never had thanks to a spot-on pop-up shop offering all those ‘luxury’ perks you definitely missed.
Following the popularity of Netflix documentary Fyre Festival: The Greatest Party That Never Happened and Hulu’s Fyre Fraud, a creative has launched an installation in Beverly Hills giving you the opportunity to enjoy all the fun and frolics Billy McFarland and Ja Rule promised guests would have.
Created by The Most Famous Artist (AKA Matty Mo), the Fyre Experience is described as a ‘laboratory’ because, you know, the whole thing seemed like big experiment anyway.
Visitors, who are promised an ‘ultra luxurious’ experience with so-called VIP packages, are instantly greeted with a handwritten sign on cardboard welcoming them to ‘Fyre Experience’. Very economical.

Before entering, you’ll also spot a cardboard cut-out of model Bella Hadid in the shop window with the tongue-in-cheek message: ‘Ex-influencer. NO WORK :( Anything helps trying to get to Fyre. God bless.’
Once inside, you’ll experience the sheer bliss of the Bahamas – just like guests did in April 2016.
And frankly, some of the features are just genius.
Against the cardboard backdrop of an exotic beach sits an orange hot tub filled with Evian water bottles. Andy King will be pleased they arrived safely.
Many other, ahem, perks of the original ill-fated Fyre Festival are included, such as those sad cheese sandwiches in polystyrene, a selfie spot to capture those special memories and, yes, fake pigs.

Guests couldn’t find him on day one of the original Fyre Festival but at the pop-up, they’ll be greeted by a Ja Rule impersonator.
And, just so you can give your Instagram followers absolute #travelgoals envy, visitors can sit in the interior of a private jet too.
Explaining his work of art, Mo told Insider: ‘This is a satire and experience meant to drive offline to online engagement. We call this participatory art.
‘I created the project to ride a cultural wave created by Netflix and Hulu. I hope to show that participatory art is the future of retail.’
Unlike the real Fyre Festival, which set guests back thousands of pounds, the pop-up is free.
