Billy McFarland, creator of the disastrous original Fyre Festival eight years ago, is planning a comeback with Fyre Festival 2, which was originally scheduled to take place in Isla Mujeres, Mexico, between May 30 and June 2. It has since been moved to Playa del Carmen, Mexico, just weeks before the start date.

However, in a translated April 3 statement from the Playa del Carmen government posted to social media, the city said that "[i]n response to rumors about a supposed event called ‘Fyre 2,’ we inform you that no event of that name will be held in Playa del Carmen."
