Billy McFarland Is Looking for a Buyer Who Wants to Make Fyre Fest Their Problem Instead


Fyre Fest founder Billy McFarland is searching for a buyer to purchase the controversial music festival after having to postpone it multiple times.

“For Fyre Festival 2 to succeed, it’s clear that I need to step back and allow a new team to move forward independently, bringing the vision to life on this incredible island,” McFarland shared in a statement. It was originally scheduled to take place May 30 to June 2 on Isla Mujeres in Mexico, then relocated to Playa del Carmen after local officials claimed to not have known anything about these plans. “I can’t risk a repeat of what happened in Playa Del Carmen, where support quickly turned into public distancing once media attention intensified,” McFarland said.
