Festival gets sued for $100m
Dubbed one of the most luxurious music, art, and food festivals in the world, Frye Festival was supposed to take place in the Bahamas over the weekend.
Tickets cost between $450 and $12,000, and promised artists like Blink 182, Skepta, Major Lazer and Daya would perform.
