Billy McFarland Says Fyre Festival 2 Is On The Way

Fyre Festival 2 Loses Second Venue as Playa del Carmen Denies Involvement

Fyre Festival Founder Billy McFarland Eyes 50 Cent to Replace Ja Rule for Fyre Festival 2 Lineup

Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

The mastermind behind the rise and fall of Fyre Festival says the concert is getting a second chance.

Billy McFarland, the infamous founder and scammer behind the too-good-to-be-true extravaganza announced the redo on Sunday. In an unexpected tweet, McFarland wrote: “Fyre Festival II is finally happening. Tell me why you should be invited.”

If you recall, Fyre Festival was a “luxury” festival that supposedly invited models and influencers to the Bahamas for villas and celebrity performances. Those who bought tickets paid upward of $10,000 for accommodations and were met with emergency tents and cheese sandwiches. 

McFarland would eventually receive a six-year prison sentence for wire fraud in March 2018. He served just four years and was released in March 2022. Now, he’s ready to get back to work. Though, it’s highly unlikely that the likes of Kendall Jenner and Bella Hadid will help promote this time around. After his business partner, Ja Rule dodged any legal action, he probably won’t be assisting either. Twitter users flooded McFarland’s comments and timelines everywhere, slamming him about the first festival that went haywire.

I’ll show up with 100 crates full of bananas.

No one will go hungry this time around.

I’m tryna figure out how there’s a FYRE Festival 2 happening when there wasn’t a 1?!?!

Y'all heard about #fyrefestival 2.0 coming up?! Bruh just got out of jail last March & back it at like he never left it 😭😭😭😭

In addition to his prison stint, McFarland was ordered to repay $26 million to investors of the first concert, which poses another issue about Fyre Festival 2. With such a lack of distrust surrounding the 31-year-old, where would he possibly get the funding to pull it off? All of these questions remain unanswered, so we’ll have to wait and see if McFarland can make Fyre Festival 2 a success.
