Fyre Festival 2 Faces Scrutiny as Isla Mujeres Officials Deny Event's Existence

Billy McFarland defends the festival's legitimacy, claiming contracts and preparations are in place despite local tourism board's objections.

Billy McFarland insists Fyre Festival 2 is moving forward, with contracts for accommodations and a production team in Mexico handling logistics.
The Isla Mujeres tourism board claims they have no knowledge of the event, no permits have been requested, and the festival 'does not exist.'
McFarland announced that contracts with two hotels were terminated after they allegedly gave misleading statements denying involvement with the festival.
Tickets for the festival, scheduled for May 30–June 2, 2025, are on sale, with prices ranging from $1,400 to $25,000 and a $1 million package available.
McFarland states artists, athletes, and performers are involved but has not disclosed specific names, citing commitments to transparency and restitution efforts.
