Fyre Festival 2 has been “postponed”, according to the organizers.
Billy McFarland, who was behind Fyre’s initial festival in Las Bahamas, was sentenced for cable fraud in relation to the failed 2017 Festival.
The new McFarland event, which was scheduled in Mexico from May 30 to June 2, was announced under the slogan “Fyre Festival 2 is real”, with tickets that begin at $ 1,400.
A message sent to a ticket holder said: “The event has been postponed and a new date will be announced. We have issued a refund. Once the new date is announced, at that time, you can buy again if it works for your schedule.”
Tickets for Fyre Festival 2 went on sale in February.
At that time, McFarland said a statement: “I am sure that many people think I’m crazy to do this again. But I feel that I would be crazy for not doing it again.”
“After years of reflection and now reflexive planning, the new team and I have incredible plans for Fyre 2,” he added.

“Experience unforgettable actions, immersive experiences and an atmosphere that redefines creativity and culture,” the festival website continued.
