Fyre Festival 2 Plans Face Scrutiny as Officials and Hotels Deny Involvement

Local authorities and hotel representatives on Isla Mujeres refute claims about permits and partnerships, while Billy McFarland insists the event is moving forward.

Isla Mujeres officials state that no permits have been requested for Fyre Festival 2, calling the event 'nonexistent.'
Hotel representatives, including from a five-star venue listed on the festival's website, deny any affiliation with the event.
Billy McFarland claims the festival is legitimate, with accommodations and partnerships secured, but has terminated contracts with certain hotels after their public denials.
Tickets for the festival, scheduled from May 30 to June 2, 2025, are priced between $1,400 and $1,100,000, with promises of luxury experiences.
The first Fyre Festival in 2017 ended in disaster, leading to McFarland's conviction for fraud and a $26 million restitution order.
