Fyre Festival founder Billy McFarland is back with Fyre 2, a sequel to the disastrously scammy 2017 music festival that landed him in prison for six years for fraud (he served four, released early for good behavior) after federal prosecutors labeled him “the consummate con artist.”
So, yes, let’s do it again!
Tickets, which are on sale as of Monday, February 24, range in price from $1,400 to $1.1 million.
And, as a redirect page that shows up when you search for tickets reassuringly insists, “Fyre Festival 2 is real.”
Real!
Just like Fyre Original Recipe partner Ja Rule. (Ja Rule has not been publicly named as a collaborator this time around.)
During an interview with Today, which aired Monday, McFarland insisted that “Fyre 2 really isn’t about the past and it isn’t about me, it’s about taking the vision, which is strong.”
