The highly anticipated Fyre Festival 2 is officially postponed and will not be occurring during its planned timeframe of late May to early June. As of now, there are no new dates set for the event, and the organizers are placing full responsibility for this setback on factors related to Mexico. This turn of events has left many fans and potential attendees in disbelief as they await further information on what will happen next.

Currently, the official website indicates that tickets are “not available at this time,” which raises concerns among customers hoping to purchase them. The event’s notorious promoter, Billy McFarland, has publicly acknowledged that the festival will not be taking place, confirming the details that TMZ first reported 10 days ago. This admission has sparked discussions about the future of the event and the credibility of its organizers.

The organizers of Fyre Festival 2 have stated, “Over the past 18 months, we have collaborated closely with experienced third-party festival operators to ensure that Fyre Festival 2 meets the highest standards.” Despite these efforts, they claim that the local government in Playa del Carmen has caused significant issues, leading to the postponement of the event and leaving organizers frustrated by the lack of support.

In a statement being sent to ticketholders, organizers expressed their frustration: “When a government takes your money, issues permits, promotes the event, and then pretends it has never heard of you, that is not just dishonest—it is theft.” This sentiment captures the anger and disappointment felt by many involved, as they navigate the aftermath of this unfortunate situation.

When discussing the financial implications of this postponement, McFarland revealed, “Permits cost hundreds of thousands of pesos. There are many expenses incurred for venues, accommodations, and other costs that [Playa del Carmen] directed us to book.” This highlights the significant financial burden that organizers face as they attempt to bring the festival to life.

Additionally, he mentioned that they have been documenting all their meetings with the same local government officials who have publicly stated that they have never heard of Fyre Festival. This contradiction raises questions about the transparency and accountability of the parties involved in the organization of this event.

While the event is confirmed to not take place from May 30 to June 2, McFarland stated that they are actively in the process of selecting a new location and date for the festival. This decision will be crucial for the future success of Fyre Festival 2 as they work to regain the trust of their audience.

As previously reported, Fyre Festival 2.0 was McFarland’s opportunity to redeem himself after the disastrous failure of the original festival, which resulted in his incarceration for wire fraud—a conviction for which he served over three years in prison. This history adds an additional layer of complexity and scrutiny to the current situation.

McFarland appeared on “TMZ Live” back in February and assured us that everything was set for the festival, although he was hesitant to name any of the acts that had been booked, only offering vague hints about a DJ. This lack of transparency has raised eyebrows and concerns among fans eager for more concrete details about the event.

As the organizers maintained that the festival was set to occur in Mexico, a source confirmed to us that they feel the Mexican authorities have backstabbed them, leaving them without a venue to host the event. In March, Billy posted a video asserting that any claims to the contrary were false, further complicating the narrative surrounding the festival.

Our source indicated, “…at this point we’re not doing any event there and we plan on making this information public to display all the evidence.” This statement reflects the determination of the organizers to clear their name and maintain transparency as they navigate these challenges.

Although authorities in Mexico initially seemed supportive of hosting the festival within their borders, they have recently claimed to have no knowledge of Fyre Festival 2 taking place. This has led to increased scrutiny, especially since footage shared on the festival’s account appears to show documents filed with the city of Playa del Carmen, creating confusion and distrust among fans.
