Original Fyre Festival creator Billy McFarland opened up about the second version of the failed festival, which is set to take place in Mexico later this year

My dream is finally becoming a reality,” entrepreneur Billy McFarland, who created the original festival, shared in an interview with Today on Monday, February 24, the same day tickets for the event officially went on sale. Rather than the luxurious festival getaway that was promised on the island of Great Exuma, attendees were met with several planning problems involving security, accommodations, food availability, medical services and more. McFarland shared more details about the festival via social media on Monday, describing the event as having “adventures led by international and local talent, taking guests on boundary-pushing excursions by day and uniting for intimate beach-side performances at night.”
