Fyre Festival 2 Is A Go…Without Any Performers Announced
Billy McFarland is moving ahead making lots of big promises again for Fyre Festival 2 in spring 2025 on a private island off Mexico.
He is asking $1400 for tickets for a luxury experience, and is aiming for 3,000 attendees. That would generate $1.1 million. Here’s the kicker though…no performers have been confirmed. “Fyre Festival II is happening April 25, 2025, so we’re seven and a half months away,” McFarland said. “We have a private island off the coast of Mexico in the Caribbean, and we have an incredible production company who’s handling everything from soup to nuts.” VIP packages promise luxury yachts and island hopping. And it’s not just music but live karate fights?? Yep. And those famous cheese sandwiches!
You may recall the first Fyre Festival was an absolute disaster and in fact landed McFarland in jail. In 2018, McFarland was sentenced to six years in federal prison after pleading guilty to multiple counts of wire fraud in connection to the original Fyre Fest. After serving four years of the sentence, he was released early in May 2022. Netflix did a documentary on the failure of the original.
Would you risk $1400 a ticket on this second attempt?
