Turns out grifting is harder when an entire country can Google your name. TMZ reports that Fyre Festival 2 —the sequel nobody asked for — just got bounced from its second Mexican location like a tourist trying to pay with Trump meme coins.
TMZ published screengrabs of text messages, ostensibly between Fyre festival promoters, in which they complain about the Mexican government refusing to allow them to hold the festival in Playa del Carmen. "They f****d us… As of now we wont be hosting a festival in playa," wrote one.
Meanwhile McFarland, who famously convinced people that Ja Rule was still relevant in 2017, is still insisting that the event will take place. He's even got Trump-endorsed NFL washout Antonio Brown allegedly lined up to perform, which feels like exactly the kind of booking decision you'd expect from someone whose last major event had people fighting over cheese sandwiches.
At this point, the only thing more elusive than Fyre Festival 2.0's location is McFarland's self-awareness
Pro tip for potential ticket buyers: If you're desperate to lose money in Mexico, there are plenty of timeshare presentations you could attend instead.
This guy is really missing the boat. If he wanted to run one of those extreme haunted house attractions he would make a killing. You know, the ones where you have to sign a waiver, and participants end up hospitalized sometimes? People who sign up for that kind of crap would kill for a chance to survive the genuine Fyre Festival 2.0, organized by McFarland, himself!
A revealing scene from the "Inventing Anna" miniseries: when you find out that she'd been living in the dude-bro apartment with Billy and the boys *while* he was planning the first Fyre fiasco. #BirdsOfAFeather (would that bird be a phoenix, since both went down in flames and are now trying to reinvent themselves?)
