Fyre Festival 2’s fate in turmoil after ‘postponed’ message is deleted: ‘This has to be a joke’

Déjà vu. Ticketholders who planned to attend Billy McFarland’s controversial Fyre Festival 2 next month were left in a state of panic on Wednesday after its official website posted – and then deleted – an announcement saying the event was postponed. “Fyre 2 Festival is postponed and will be rescheduled for a later date in the future,” the now-deleted statement read, per The Sun .

“If you have purchased tickets already, you will receive an email once the new date is confirmed.” The website also said that tickets for the festival, which went for $1,400 and higher, were “unavailable.” However, the official Fyre Festival 2 website was reportedly updated again to make it look as if the initial “postponed” announcement had never appeared.



Many took to social media to mock the ordeal. “Who could have imagined?” one person posted on X. “This has to be a joke,” wrote another.

“Well that’s not good,” a third person tweeted. “Who could have possibly seen this coming?” “It’s very easy to postpone something that was never gonna happen anyway,” added a fourth. The chaos and confusion on Wednesday came just more than one month before Fyre Festival 2, the successor of the disastrous Fyre Festival in 2017, was set to take place from May 30 to June 2 in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico.
