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

Fyre Festival 2 has hit yet another roadblock after officials in Playa del Carmen publicly denied that the city will host the event, despite recent claims by founder Billy McFarland.

In a statement posted to social media on April 3, Playa del Carmen’s city government wrote:

“In response to rumors about a supposed event called ‘Fyre 2,’ we inform you that no event of that name will be held in Playa del Carmen.”

“There is no existence of a registry nor plans that would indicate such an event taking place in this municipality.”

The denial comes just days after McFarland held a press conference in the city on March 28, where he and associates claimed that permits were secured and praised the location as the new home for the controversial music festival. “We couldn’t ask for a better group of people,” McFarland said at the time, with figures introduced as officials from Playa del Carmen’s tourism and government offices reportedly present.

The event had already been relocated once, originally slated for Isla Mujeres from May 30 to June 2. In February, the Isla Mujeres municipal government also issued a statement denying any knowledge of the event or having issued permits.

With both cities now distancing themselves from the festival, Fyre Festival 2’s location remains unclear, just weeks before its planned launch.

Event marketing experts are calling the situation a “major red flag.”

Despite the controversy, tickets are still being sold, with prices ranging from $1,400 to more than $1 million. The high-end packages advertise private air and yacht transport, luxury accommodations, and exclusive access for groups—though no performing artists have been announced.

McFarland, who served four years in prison for wire fraud related to the original 2017 Fyre Festival, has attempted to frame this sequel as a redemption arc. In a recent interview, he acknowledged the skepticism, saying, “You’re taking a risk because I made a lot of bad decisions and messed up the first festival.”

The original Fyre Festival became infamous for broken promises, FEMA tents, and cheese sandwiches in place of luxury experiences. McFarland was sentenced to six years in prison and ordered to repay defrauded investors and attendees. A 2021 class action settlement awarded 277 ticketholders $7,220 each.

As of now, no new location has been confirmed, and Fyre Festival 2’s future remains uncertain.
