The way forward for the controversial Fyre Festival is because of unfold within the Hamptons on August twenty sixth, in line with Billy McFarland.
“The primary FYRE occasion since 2017 is strictly two months away,” the disgraced Fyre founder mentioned matter-of-factly into the digicam in a latest Instagram put up.

McFarland first teased that Fyre Competition II was in the works in early April and even launched a typeform whereby entrants might apply for an invite. His announcement of the upcoming Fyre occasion in August suggests it might merely be the primary in a sequence on the highway to ill-fated Bahamian competition’s second coming.
Upon revealing the date for the subsequent chapter of Fyre, McFarland adopted up the announcement with an e mail, which has been obtained by EDM.com.
“The First FYRE occasion since 2017 will probably be on our PYRT Ship within the Hamptons on August twenty sixth,” the e-mail reads. “Tickets won’t be bought.”
As an alternative, a mix of potential attendees who crammed out the typeform—plus members of McFarland’s non-public advertising curriculum, “Construct With Billy”—will characterize the majority of the viewers. Again in November, McFarland introduced plans for “PYRT,” a so-called “scavenger hunt” within the Bahamas that was shortly condemned by the island nation’s Deputy Prime Minister.
The stakes for a profitable Fyre Competition redemption arc are sky-high for McFarland, who’s at present angling to pay again $26 million in restitution prices relationship again to his competition’s unique failure to launch. McFarland was released from prison final yr after he entered a responsible plea for fraud again in 2018.
