Scam me once, shame on you. Scam me twice … Optimist Billy McFarland ditched the pirate-treasure hunt to go back to his roots of scamming people the old-fashioned way by creating another music festival in the Caribbean. McFarland announced Fyre Festival 2, a sequel to the successful Fyre Festival 1 that featured delicious bread-and-cheese plates for its guests, and scheduled round two to go live on December 2024. Passes are currently for sale, with prices increasing as tickets get sold — the first tier of 100 tickets has already sold out. The purchase allegedly includes one ticket to the festival, a pass for other Fyre events and pop-ups, and access to other events like weekend getaways and documentary screenings (granted, if you buy tickets to the events, you’ll probably end up in a documentary yourself). The site features a disclaimer that the festival date is subject to change and they are hoping to a host a minimum of four events prior to the festival. However, if you’re not interested in being a part of another class-action settlement and are, perhaps, a fan of geography, the Fyre Festival website still has something for you: a link to the Caribbean Sea on Google Maps. In case you didn’t know where it was.
