Billy McFarland has revealed new details about Fyre Fest 2, including a new date and location.
Originally announced as taking place April 25th through 28th, Fyre Festival 2 is now going down from May 30th to June 2nd. In a new interview with TODAY, the convicted fraudster explained, “We just needed the extra month to give our partners time to get everything ready.”
It will be located on Isla Mujeres in Quintana Roo, Mexico.
However, McFarland still hasn’t locked down any artists since his previous update in September. “We’re going to have artists across electronic, hip hop, pop, and rock,” he told TODAY. “However, it’s not just music. We might have a professional skateboarder do a demonstration. We might have an MMA champion teach you techniques in the morning.”
Tickets are now on sale through the festival’s website, with options ranging from $1,400 for the “Ignite” general access pass to $25,000 for the “Phoenix” artist access tier. For those looking to truly set their money on fire, there’s a $1.1 million “Prometheus” package for eight people.
“You will be on a boat, have the luxury yachts that we partner with who will be docked and parked outside the island,” McFarland said about the latter package. “But once again, Fyre is not just about this, like, luxury experience. It’s about the adventure. So you’ll be scuba diving with me.”
