Fyre festival 2 ‘postponed’ just weeks before it was scheduled to start

Event was meant to kick off 30 May to follow failed 2017 festival that resulted in Billy McFarland's wire fraud conviction

Fyre festival 2 has been postponed", according to messages sent to ticket holders, just weeks before it was scheduled to start.

The event, advertised as a luxury music festival, was supposed to take place in Mexico from 30 May to 2 June. It was intended as an improved followup to the failed Fyre festival in 2017, which experienced problems with security, food, accommodation, medical services and artist relations, resulting in the festival being indefinitely postponed and eventually cancelled.
