Sadly, the historic Mayan Theatre in L.A. is closing after about 98 years of operation. Over the years, the venue has hosted concerts, dance parties, movies, plays, and just about everything else. The current owners, who have run concerts out of the venue for 35 years, did not state a reason or future plans for the theatre. Previously, the city of L.A. designated the theater a Los Angeles Historic Cultural Monument. The designation doesn’t protect it from demolition, but it does require the city to consider preservation of the historic site before it is destroyed.
After years of trouble, FYRE fest has been sold… on eBay… for a paltry $245,000. Owner Billy McFarland, who went to jail for a number of years for crimes related to the initial FYRE fest, put the IP, trademarks, social media, and other non-tangible business assets up for sale on eBay last week. The sale closed at $245,000, which is considered to be a very low amount. McFarland did not disclose the buyer, but did state on social media "FYRE Festival is just one chapter of my story, and I'm excited to move onto my next one."
McFarland still owes about $26 million in restitution to victims of his FYRE fest scams and related scams.
Meanwhile, the Fyre festival hotel pop up in Utila, Bay Islands, still seems to be moving forward. We might keep you updated.
Jane's Addiction members Dave Navarro, Eric Avery and Stephen Perkins have filed a lawsuit against singer Perry Farrell. The suit stems from JA's disastrous last show where Farrell and Navarro got into an altercation on stage, with Farrell being dragged off stage by security. As part of the suit, Plaintiffs allege that Farrell's behavior ended the tour and also prevented the planed recording of a new album. The suit, filed today, demands $10 million, which is what the band says Farrell's actions cost them. Navarro is also suing for assault and battery. Farrell is expected to file a responsive pleading in 30 days or less.
