What ever happens to these people this time, they deserve it. Probably a lot of Trump voters, seeing as they'll buy anything if there's hype.

Het veelbesproken mislukte Fyre Festival krijgt een tweede editie. Organisator Billy McFarland kondigt op Instagram "een echte terugkeer" aan. Het festival moet tussen 30 mei en 2 juni plaatsvinden op het Mexicaanse eiland Isla Mujeres.
Oh look, I needed a vacation. Plus, apparently taking whatever felons feed you hook, line, and sinker is fashionable nowadays. Only $1.1M for a primo ticket!
TechCrunch: Fyre Festival 2 is coming
Convicted fraudster Billy McFarland is having another shot. After the utter disaster of Fyre I, then a failed attempt to stage 'Fyre Festival 2' in the Caribbean last year, he's having another punt.
Fyre 2 will be held on a Mexican island starting May 30th. Tickets range from $US1,400 to $1.1 million (!) and so far there's not a single artist listed. Not one.
McFarland was sentenced to six years in jail for fraud after Fyre I.
Fool me once... etc.

Fyre Festival II has a vague location and a specific date: A privately owned island off the coast of Mexico, April 25-28 2025. The first iteration of the festival in 2017 was an unmitigated disaster, with attendees paying thousands for no entertainment and cheese sandwiches, and founder Billy McFarland ending up in jail for wire fraud. McFarland told TODAY that he has learned his lesson, for example, by hiring a production company to handle logistics, but refused to confirm who they were, or the exact location of the island. Who will be performing? “We haven’t booked any talent for Fyre II,” he said. “It’s not going to be just music — for example, karate combat. We’re in talks with them to set up a pit to have, like, live fights at Fyre Festival II.” 100 tickets have been sold so far at $500 apiece, and McFarland says other packages will soon go on sale with the max price being $1.1 million.
