Fyre Festival 2.0 Faces Another Setback as Playa del Carmen Plans Collapse

Organizers confirm the event will not proceed in Playa del Carmen due to permit issues, with efforts now underway to secure a new location.

Fyre Festival 2.0 organizers have announced that the event will no longer take place in Playa del Carmen after local authorities denied issuing permits.
This marks the second venue cancellation for the festival, following a similar denial from Isla Mujeres earlier this year.
Billy McFarland claims his team has been working with Playa del Carmen officials since March 2025, but local government statements contradict this assertion.
Event producer Nick Botero has stated that the festival will be relocated, though no new venue has been confirmed yet.
The festival's revival continues to be plagued by operational issues, echoing the controversy surrounding the disastrous 2017 event.
