Mark your calendars—or maybe don't. Fyre Festival 2 is officially scheduled for May 30 to June 2 in Playa del Carmen, Mexico. That’s right: Billy McFarland is back with a sequel to the infamous 2017 disaster. But with less than two months to go, there’s still no artist lineup, the venue just changed and permit details suggest this may be more of a beachside hang than a full-on festival.
Is Fyre Festival 2 canceled?
As of now, the festival is apparently still on, though details remain scarce. Tickets are no longer available, as they’ve quietly vanished from Soldout.com, the fest’s official ticketing site. Prices had ranged from $1,400 to over $1 million for VIP group packages.
Where is Fyre Festival 2 taking place?
Originally hyped for Isla Mujeres, the fest abruptly announced a new location—Playa del Carmen—just 70 days out. Why the switch? Officials on Isla Mujeres said they’d never been contacted by the Fyre team, nor had they issued any permits.
Instead, McFarland now says permits are in place for Martina Beach Club.
When is the festival taking place?
The festival is officially scheduled for May 30 to June 2, 2025.
What’s the lineup for Fyre Festival 2?
McFarland said an entertainment lineup would drop in March, but nothing has been revealed as of yet. A rep claims the performers will be revealed “next week.” The only person who's publicly said they're booked is former NFL player Antonio Brown.
Even more concerning is that, according to documents shared publicly, what’s actually permitted is just a small-scale listening party with a max of 250 people and no live music. Just recorded tracks from midnight to 4am—a far cry from the promised 1,800 attendees and 40 live acts.
So far, Fyre Festival 2 looks less like a redemption arc and more like a rerun. No lineup, limited permits, mystery logistics and the same showrunner who brought you cheese sandwiches in FEMA tents. Here's hoping the beach club has outlets—because the music might be coming from a Spotify playlist streamed on your phone.
