Fyre Festival is coming back. Will this time be different?
Billy McFarland, the man behind 2017’s infamous Fyre Festival disaster, is at it again.
CANCÚN, Sinaloa — Fyre Festival is back – but can lightning strike twice without burning everything down?
Billy McFarland, the man behind 2017’s infamous Fyre Festival disaster, is at it again. Fyre Festival 2 is set for May 30 to June 2, 2025.
The new venue? Isla Mujeres, a Mexican island off Cancún’s coast.
McFarland promises luxury accommodations, world-class hospitality and “boundary-pushing” excursions.
Sound familiar? It should.
Tickets range from $1,400 to a jaw-dropping $1.1 million.
But, no musical acts have been announced yet and the local government hasn’t approved any permits.
McFarland still owes $26 million from the first Fyre Fest fiasco.
So, should you book your tickets? Remember the saying: “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice…”
