Fyre Festival 2 in Jeopardy After Leaked Texts Reveal Chaos Behind the Scenes
Fyre Festival 2 Lineup
Fyre Festival 2—the infamous sequel to the most notorious music festival flop in history—has reportedly hit a major snag.
According to news outlets such as TMZ, the event, which was supposed to take place in late May or early June, has been postponed indefinitely, and organizers have yet to confirm new dates or a new location.
Is Fyre Festival 2 Postponed
The news broke after leaked text messages began circulating online, painting a chaotic picture of the festival’s planning process. The texts, posted by TMZ here, allegedly from a Fyre Festival event producer, claim that the team was “backstabbed” by officials in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, the intended location for the festival.
In the messages, the producer expresses frustration and dismay over what they say was a sudden and unexpected withdrawal of local support.

Fyre Festival 2 Tickets
There are also claims that ticket holders were reportedly sent notices about the postponement, and that the festival’s website now says tickets are “currently not available.” Organizers appear to be placing the blame squarely on the local government in Playa del Carmen.
The troubled update is déjà vu for many who remember the disaster that was Fyre Festival 1 in 2017—an event that promised luxury accommodations and top-tier performances but instead delivered tents, soggy sandwiches, and chaos. The original Fyre Festival ultimately led to jail time for founder Billy McFarland, who has since returned to the public eye.
Fyre Festival 2 Reddit
Reddit users have reacted with a mix of skepticism and dark humor in one thread to the news that Fyre Festival 2 has been postponed indefinitely. The event, originally scheduled for late May or early June 2025 in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, faced logistical challenges after local officials denied any involvement, leading organizers to blame the local government for the delay.
Despite the hype surrounding Fyre Festival 2‘s announcement, skepticism remained high. With no new dates set and trust already thin, the latest controversy is making fans and critics alike wonder if the event will ever actually happen, or if history is simply repeating itself.
