Our favorite convicted scammer Billy McFarland is back with Fyre Festival 2, and tickets are already on sale.
The disgraced festival founder shared a video on his Instagram profile, letting his followers know that his concert, which technically never happened, will finally come to fruition. According to McFarland, he came up with his new festival concept during his incarceration for fraud charges related to the failed concert.
For the new Fyre Festival, McFarland doesn’t appear to have the big influencers and celebrity backing. As of now, it seems that he is the only one promoting the concert, which is scheduled for December 6th, 2024. Fyre Festival 2 will allegedly include the main show, FYRE Pop-Ups, and the FYRE Crew Community. While the ticketing website doesn’t provide many details about the luxurious event, the tickets are now on sale for $499 for the first 100 buyers. However, other pass options will soon be available, which are much more expensive. This includes the Fyre Four Hundred will be priced at $799, and the Fyre Starters for $1,199. The most costly access will run attendees $7,999 for last-chance tickets.
The website does not list which artists are performing or what the pop-ups will consist of. However, given his history, it may be difficult for McFarland to get people interested in the show. Furthermore, he plans to host FF2 in the “Caribbean,” which is extremely vague. If you recall, the first Fyre Fest was slated to take place in the Bahamas, though it was a complete bust. Hurricane tents, cheese sandwiches, and absolutely no performances are what attendees were met with, many of which spent thousands on tickets.
Nevertheless, if you’re interested in rolling the dice on Fyre Festival 2, all the details can be found on McFarland’s Instagram.
