Plans for Fyre Festival 2 went up in smoke Wednesday after its creator, Billy McFarland, revealed he was putting the Fyre brand up for sale, effectively canceling the doomed music event.

News of the sale, which includes the company’s “trademarks, IP, digital assets, media reach, and cultural capital,” was shared on Fyre Festival’s Instagram and website.

Only one week prior, Fyre posted — then deleted — a statement on the website saying the festival was “postponed and will be rescheduled for a later date in the future.” The event had been slated for late May in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, until a dispute with the location occurred.
