The Fyre Festival returns, and can get a $ 1.1 million ticket. Sounds fun, right?

Fyre Festival founder Billy McFarland is back with Fyre 2A sequel to 2017 Music Festival 2017 that took it In prison for six years for fraud (It served four, released early for good behavior) after federal prosecutors labeled “the consummate scam.”

So, let’s do it again! Tickets, which are For sale from Monday, February 24It varies in price of $ 1,400 to $ 1.1 million. And, like a Redirection page That appears when looking for tickets quietly insists: “Fyre Festival 2 is real.” Real! Just like Fyre Original Recipe Partner Ja Rule. (Ja Rule has not been publicly appointed as a collaborator this time).

During a interview TodayThat was broadcast on Monday, McFarland insisted that “Fyre 2 really is not about the past and it is not about me, it is about taking the vision, which is strong.”

So who will be there? Unclear! McFarland avoided questions about whether any artist has really been reserved for the event. Said intentionally that it is not in charge of the reserve and that “expects” that talent is a list A. Apparently, McFarland apparently does not know what talent will be there, but does not even know if the terms of its release from the prison They will allow you to travel internationally to Isla Mujeres, Mexico, where the event is scheduled for May 30. to June 2.

In 2023, NPR reported That the terms of McFarland’s release from the prison had under supervised liberation for three years, with regular records with a probation officer and permission is required if he wanted to travel beyond the south of New York. As of March 2022, however, those three years would increase approximately now. There is hope for McFarland to turn on the Fyre, despite his concern in the interview that he would be seeing sadly from home through Livestressre.

“It’s not just music,” he said about his plan for a hand -wandered luxury experience, where he promised that buyers of the $ 1.1 million “Prometheus Pass” would remain in a private luxury yacht and would approach that talent without Name of that nameless talent. “We could make a professional skate a demonstration. We could have a MMA champion who shows you techniques in the morning. “

Although there are more than a few red flags even beyond the unnegiably terrible history of McFarland (Eat dry cheese sandwiches And sleeping in an emerging fema store does not make a luxury experience, as the original Fyre Fest assistants would attest), spoke a great game.

“We are selling Fyre’s experience,” McFarland insisted. “I want to be one of the first festivals that can be exhausted without artists.”

Want. It’s good to want. It is important to dream.

Although he acknowledged that “there is a risk component” for ticket buyers, this time in McFarland has been associated with a production company and a ticket company for Fyre 2: Electric Boogaloo.

“There are 2,000 people running the risk, looking for adventure and wanting to be there for the moment,” he said about possible attendees.

In 2022 interview with Vanity FairMcFarland said he was totally in charge of future companies (he was launching an application that allowed access to celebrities at that time). “I know I’m going to try hard and just do it in the right way,” he said. “If I lie again, I’m going to jail for a long time, a long time.”

In Monday’s interview, McFarland said who has not seen Either of the two documentaries That has been launched on the great Fyre flower, and it must still have $ 26 million in restitution for Fyre Festival. Ten percent of Fyre 2’s profits will go to that, with a minimum of $ 500,000.

“My dream is finally becoming a reality,” McFarland told Today.

In Declaration published in its X (previously Twitter) on MondayMcFarland celebrated the opening of the sale of tickets, telling the hopeful attendees to wait for “day limits excursions” and “intimate performances on the side of the beach at night.” The festival is held for four calendar days, but it is announced in that statement as “a three -day escape to the Mexican Caribbean.”

As for what that fourth day will be? That is an assumption.
