Fyre Festival is back, baby. So if you have anywhere between $1,400 and $1.1m sitting in your bank account doing nothing, you could treat yourself to a luxury old time of things on Isla Mujeres at Fyre Festival 2 at the end of May.

Or maybe, understandably, you have several rather large misgivings about paying the best part of the national debt to attend a music festival which, the last time it was attempted, resulted in every single act cancelling before the event, festival goers being left stranded on an island and in an airport terminal without access to food and water and the organiser being jailed for almost four years on two counts of wire fraud.

But here we are, with Fyre Festival 2 heading to the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico, with zero acts announced, for an event reportedly taking place between May 30 and June 2.

Naturally, more than a few people have been extremely skeptical about the whole thing since Billy McFarland shared the news of tickets going on sale, in an interview with TODAY. Social media pretty much erupted as soon as the news broke…


Awaiting the documentary on this one with baited breath.
