Are you interested in attending a music festival in the beautiful Caribbean? Does it matter to you if there’s live music, food, and shelter waiting for you upon arrival? Well, today is your lucky day! Billy McFarland, the organizer and fraudster behind the infamous Fyre Festival, has announced a ticket drop for a sequel festival. Yes, you read that right. The same Fyre Festival that made headlines in 2017 for its disastrous execution, offering customers disaster-relief tents and cheese sandwiches instead of the ultra-luxurious experience they were promised.
After teasing the idea of a follow-up festival earlier this year, McFarland released 100 presale tickets on August 21st. Priced at $499 each (technically $549.89 after taxes and fees), these tickets quickly sold out, despite the fact that the event has no lineup, date, or location confirmed yet. The original Fyre Festival boasted luxury villas, a star-studded lineup featuring Blink-182 and Migos, and was heavily promoted by high-profile models like Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber. However, attendees were met with disappointment as they found themselves in “FEMA tents” surrounded by construction materials, with no sign of the promised celebrities or performances.
McFarland, who is now out of prison serving time for wire fraud, filmed a video in which he announced his plans for the future, including a 2024 sequel festival called FFII and various pop-ups and events worldwide in the meantime. This announcement received mixed reactions from the public, with some expressing disbelief and others anger towards McFarland, urging him to pay back the local community in the Bahamas he had previously scammed.
Despite the criticism, McFarland remains determined to move forward with his plans. The only remaining mystery is the exact location of the festival in the Caribbean, as clicking the “Open in Maps” button on the event website leads to the Google Maps listing for the Caribbean Sea. It’s unclear who is leaving reviews for a body of water, but apparently, it has a 4.6-star rating.
One person who decided to take a chance and purchase a ticket is Victoria Medvedenko, a 20-year-old nursing student from Arizona. She bought one of the “The First 100” tickets for $549.89 and remains optimistic about the event, believing that McFarland has learned from his mistakes and will deliver a better experience this time. Although she’s received some hateful messages for her decision, Medvedenko sees the humor in the situation and is glad she took the chance.
In conclusion, the infamous Fyre Festival is making a comeback, whether you think it’s a good idea or not. Billy McFarland is determined to redeem himself and create a successful event this time around. Will he be able to deliver on his promises? Only time will tell.
