History repeats (because some people never learn)
Fyre Festival 2 somehow lasted even less time than its infamous predecessor, with Billy McFarland hitting pause before announcing a single act.
Organisers quietly emailed ticket holders yesterday, declaring the event “postponed” and issuing refunds—though no new dates were shared.
The fest was supposedly set for May 30-June 2 in Isla Mujeres, Mexico, despite local officials denying involvement.
McFarland, fresh out of prison for the 2017 fraud debacle, had promised “boundary-pushing” experiences but delivered exactly zero details.
Undeterred by his past (or logic), McFarland rolled out Fyre Fest 2 last year, selling tickets before confirming dates, locations, or lineups.
Fast-forward to 2025: another vague revival, another round of skeptical local denials, and another round of pricey tickets ($1,100-$25,000—no flights or hotels included, obviously).
McFarland claimed 1,800 “confirmed guests” and a lineup of “rappers, DJs, and athletes,” yet somehow forgot to name names.
“I’d be crazy not to do this again,” he said.
Spoiler: He is. And it’s not happening. Again.
