Just some weeks shy of the eight yr anniversary of the music pageant that by no means was, it seems that Fyre Fest 2 may very well occur. Possibly. Probably. Relying who you ask.
Earlier this yr, pageant organizer Billy McFarland had teased Isla Mujeras as a potential location for the pageant earlier than switching to Playa Del Carmen in Mexico. Nonetheless, final month, officers in Playa Del Carmen publicly acknowledged that they’d no data of such an occasion (which is scheduled to happen Might 30-June 2) nor had anybody filed the right paperwork or allow functions.
Nonetheless, McFarland says that is unfaithful, taking to Instagram to share a timeline of occasions suggesting that functions, permits, and different required documentation had been filed in an orderly and compliant method with the caption: “FYRE has been working instantly with the federal government of Playa del Carmen (PDC) and their officers since March 5, 2025 to make sure a protected and profitable occasion. All media studies suggesting our staff has not been working with the federal government of PDC are merely inaccurate and primarily based on misinformation. FYRE has operated as a very good companion with PDC authorities and has adopted the right processes and procedures to lawfully host an occasion. We might be sharing all related permits, funds, and communications.”
Even when the required permits are in place, there’s nonetheless the large query about what artists might be on the occasion. Interviewers with TMZ pressed McFarland as to what artists can be performing, noting that it appears pretty unreasonable to count on attendees to purchase tickets with out realizing the artist lineup to which McFarland awkwardly requested “Isn’t it loopy {that a} music fest with none artists has this a lot buzz? Possibly the advertising and marketing plan is working.”
Whereas McFarland promised to announce artists “quickly,” he did say that he has booked a distinguished feminine DJ who might be main a shark tour on the pageant earlier than performing on the occasion.
