Billy McFarland is back with grand plans for a revival of the notorious Fyre Festival. Despite no date, lineup or venue being announced yet, tickets for the 2024 festival, again set to take place somewhere in the Caribbean, are now available to purchase.
McFarland took to his socials to formally make the announcement. “It really all started in a seven-month stint in solitary confinement,” McFarland explains in the video. “I wrote out this 50-page plan of how it would take this overall interest and demand in Fyre, and how it would take my ability to bring people from around the world together to make the impossible happen.” Watch the video – which he also mentions concepts like “pop-ups and events around the world” leading up to the festival as well as the work-in-progress that is Fyre Festival: the Broadway Musical – in full below.
The first iteration of Fyre Festival, co-founded by McFarland and Ja Rule, advertised a stacked lineup of industry-wide artists featuring Pusha T, Lil Yachty, Kaytranada, Migos and Major Lazer. This year’s intended talent lineup still remains to be revealed.
For $499 USD, interested attendees can purchase one of the first 100 tickets, now available on the festival’s ticketing website, where the slated location is listed as “Caribbean Sea” and the date as “targeted for the end of 2024”, specifically a December 6 date, that is advertised as “subjected to change.” The Fyre Festival presale pass includes one ticket to the festival as well as VIP access to all Fyre-related “events, experiences and community.” The highest ticketing tier is currently listed to retail for $7,999 USD.
