Obviously, a lot of that has been negative,” McFarland acknowledged in a 2024 interview with NBC News’ Savannah Sellers, “but I think that most people, once they kind of get under the hood and study the plans and see the team behind Fyre II, they see the upside... And if it’s done well, I think Fyre has a chance to be this annual festival that really takes over the festival industry.”.
Convicted fraudster Billy McFarland is seeking to make his comeback with the forthcoming Fyre Festival 2, which he believes has the chance to “take over the festival industry.”.
The original Fyre Festival, which took place in The Bahamas, was advertised as the “cultural experience of the decade” and promised attendees the chance to rub shoulders with celebrities while staying in luxury accommodations.
Convicted fraudster Billy McFarland said the second iteration of his Fyre Festival is ‘my dream finally becoming a reality‘.
No longer will McFarland be responsible for handling the details of the festival, as those duties have been passed on to a festival operator.
