Tickets for Fyre Festival 2, a follow-up to the troubled 2017 event, are now on sale. The festival is set to happen from May 30 to June 2 on Isla Mujeres, a Mexican island. Unlike the original Fyre Festival, which took place in the Bahamas, this sequel will be in Mexico.
To attend, you can buy tickets ranging from $1,400 to $1.1 million on Soldout.com or Fyre Festival Mexico’s website. The founder, Billy McFarland, promises yacht accommodations and access to artists performing at the event. There are luxury packages available, including yacht access near the island. Organizers stress that Fyre Festival 2 is meant to be an exciting experience.
For this new edition, McFarland has teamed up with Mexican concert producer LostNights for logistics. Soldout.com is the official ticket reseller and guarantees full refunds if the festival gets canceled. Although the lineup hasn’t been revealed yet, McFarland hints at a mix of electronic, hip-hop, pop, and rock music, along with other activities like skateboard displays and martial arts sessions.
This event marks McFarland’s comeback after the original Fyre Festival disaster. The previous festival, known for leaving attendees stranded, led to legal issues and McFarland’s time in prison. Despite the past, Fyre Festival 2 aims to offer a fresh and enjoyable experience for all participants.
