You’re about 5% too generous. Plus, Isle of Mujer isn’t really a logistical solution for a ton of people.
February 27Feb 27 The Fyre Festival Fuckup thread back in 2017 was awesome. A real-time thread of bad things happening to several thousand idiots. Glorious.
February 27Feb 27 Isla Mujeres is about to become a haven for Tik Tok women with bare midriffs and jacked up bros with money to throw around while treating the locals like shit. I can’t imagine these people in golf carts filming their content instead of focusing on the road. Doomed.

So he will probably sell out. But it seems he is barely even trying https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2025/feb/27/fyre-festival-2-mexico Quote When tickets to the second Fyre festival went on sale this week, there was just one concrete detail: it would take place on Isla Mujeres, a tropical island off Cancún, Mexico. But the festival seems to be repeating its own history as an improvised disaster after the local government in Isla Mujeres denied knowing anything about it. “We have no knowledge of this event, nor contact with any person or company about it,” Edgar Gasca, from the tourism directorate of Isla Mujeres, told the Guardian. “For us, this is an event that does not exist.” The first edition of Fyre festival in 2017 made headlines after guests arrived only to find their luxury experience was a sham with inadequate accommodation, a lack of organisation and music acts pulling out. It was later referred to as “closer to The Hunger Games … than Coachella”. Its founder, Billy McFarland, described by Vanity Fair as “the poster boy for millennial scamming”, was convicted of fraud and sentenced to six years in prison. He was later released after less than four years. A New York court also awarded $7,220 each to 277 attendees. But earlier this week McFarland appeared on TV to announce a kind of comeback. “Fyre 2 is real,” McFarland told the Today show. “My dream is finally becoming a reality.” Quote Gasca said he had spoken with the minister for tourism in the state of Quintana Roo and also the hotels that Fyre listed as accommodation for guests on its website, and that none of them had heard about the festival. Impression Isla Mujeres, one of the luxury hotels at which Fyre promised accommodation, told the Guardian it had not received “any approach or enquiry with regards to the event” and that they were investigating it. In a public audience this morning, Atenea Gómez Ricalde, municipal president of Isla Mujeres, said she knew nothing more about the festival than what was online. “People are trying to use the peace and tranquillity we have created here for their own benefit,” she added. “The organisers didn’t even bother to approach the authorities,” said Gasca. “It’s very strange, because any manager knows that if you’re going to hold an event, let alone a massive event, you need municipal authorisation. “I think they thought they would just announce it and see if it got traction, then ask for the permits halfway down the path,” Gasca added. “It’s a bit of a naive way to think.” Given all the media attention the event was receiving, the local government put out a public denial, saying that no permit had been requested for the event.

February 28Feb 28 I've came up with the perfect plan. During the event Surly rents a group of rooms in Cancun at an all inclusive. We buy 4 tickets that surely with be worthless. The days of the even we rent the the following, pay for some strippers and sail to the Island.

April 17Apr 17 Fyre Festival 2’s fate in turmoil after ‘postponed’ message is deleted from website: ‘This has to be a joke’ By Connor Surmonte Published April 16, 2025, 5:31 p.m. ET Quote 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 start at $1,400 and go as high as $1.1 million, 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. Instead, it insisted that “FYRE Festival 2 is still on” and the organizers were “vetting new locations and will announce our host destination soon.” “Our priorities remain unchanged,” the latest statement read, per NBC News, “delivering an unforgettable, safe, and transparent experience.” Still, many rushed to social media to mock the entire 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. McFarland, who served four years in prison for fraud related to his involvement in the failed Fyre Festival in 2017, first announced his plans for a second attempt in September. But those plans were cast in doubt in February after Mexican officials said that McFarland, 33, and the event’s other organizers never requested permits. “Due to information circulating in the media regarding the ‘FYRE FESTIVAL II,’ the General Directorate of Tourism of Isla Mujeres informs that no person or company has requested permits from this office or any other Municipal Government department for said event,” the Isla Mujeres government said in a statement on its Facebook page at the time. Like Fyre Festival 2, the original Fyre Fest promised big-name musicians like Blink-182 and Migos; celebrities like the Hadid sisters and Emily Ratajkowski; fine food; and luxury accommodations. However, the festival failed miserably and later went viral on social media after both Hulu and Netflix released documentaries about the catastrophe. McFarland was sentenced to six years in prison for his financial crimes, although he only served four years from 2018 to 2022. Prosecutors also revealed that the failed festival cost investors upwards of $26 million. “This is the most tangible way to repay the $26 million that I owe, and having real partners gives an opportunity in the next five to seven years to actually pay back that $26 million,” McFarland told The Sun last month. “And unfortunately,” he added, “no one’s offering me $26 million to work somewhere else.”
April 17Apr 17 Given the intelligence level of the US population (examples available upon request), I expect this postponed event to sell-out.

April 17Apr 17 I'm guessing that headliner Milli Vanilli had a conflict, so that caused the postponement
April 17Apr 17 Funny thing is they could’ve actually had enough demand to set up a really good legitimate festival thanks to the documentary and following social media hype. Instead they’re just going to fuck it up again and still probably make a lot of money cuz idiots.
April 17Apr 17 I don't really understand how it would be difficult to do this. I was going to put on a one day festival in Nashville for the Vanderbilt game at the ampitheater right across from the stadium and the only reason we didn't is because I couldn't travel to Nashville and a few marketing channels were less responsive than I wanted. This was gonna be for 2k+ include food and bev + entertainment. Maybe I should throw fucking parties for a living.

So, when the fuck is the Surly Fyre Festival happening? Where is it? I need to start working on connections for the drugs and sex workers. This shit takes some planning.
