Convicted fraudster Billy McFarland is selling tickets for Fyre Festival 2. But there's no lineup, and the location just says 'the Caribbean.'
The original Fyre Festival, which was co-founded by McFarland and rapper Ja Rule, infamously became a viral sensation after it launched with a glamorous promotional video that featured models Bella Hadid and Emily Ratajkowski frolicking on the clear blue shores of a remote, private island “once owned by Pablo Escobar,” popping bottles of bubbly on yachts and wearing barely-there bikinis.
The January 2017 video was shared by dozens of social media influencers, including Kendall Jenner, and inspired a handful of FOMO-crazed youths to shell out thousands for the promise of private jet rides, a million-dollar treasure hunt on the beach and alcohol-stocked seaside villas.Blink-182, Pusha T and Major Lazer were among the many high-profile artists that were promoted on the famously canceled festival’s lineup.
Once the festival began, it again went viral, for distinctly less-glamorous reasons including unfinished infrastructure and canceled talent. Suffice it to say,Times staff writer Amy Kaufman contributed to this report.
