Tickets for Fyre Festival II, which is organized by convicted fraudster Billy McFarland, are now on sale, with extravagant ticket and hospitality packages available ranging from $1,400 to $1.1 million. McFarland served nearly four years of prison time after being convicted of fraud charges related to the infamous first Fyre Festival in 2017, which was plagued with disastrous planning issues and deceitful promotion. The destination festival is scheduled to take place on Isla Mujeres in Mexico from May 30 to June 2, and the event’s website promises “boundary-pushing excursions by day” and “intimate beach-side performances by night,” while the as-yet-unannounced lineup will be “led by international and local talent.” Despite McFarland’s past legal troubles, he is looking forward to the event. “I’m sure many people think I’m crazy for doing this again,” he said in a statement. “But I feel I’d be crazy not to do it again. The new team and I have amazing plans for Fyre 2.” (Rolling Stone)
