Overview

  • Fyre Festival 2, originally scheduled for May 30 to June 2, 2025, in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, has been postponed indefinitely.
  • Ticket holders have been refunded, with organizers stating they will announce a new date and location in the future.
  • Local authorities in Playa del Carmen and Isla Mujeres denied issuing permits for the event, contradicting claims by festival promoter Billy McFarland.
  • No performer lineup or finalized venue had been confirmed before the postponement, fueling skepticism about the event's feasibility.
  • The festival's credibility remains under scrutiny due to the disastrous 2017 Fyre Festival and McFarland's prior conviction for fraud.
