After Cancelling Fyre Fest 2, Billy McFarland Announces New Fyre Event in Honduras
Taking place this September.
Summary
- Billy McFarland is attempting another Fyre Festival, “Fyre Coral View Pop-Up,” in Utila, Honduras, in September
- This follows McFarland’s cancelled Fyre Fest 2 and his attempt to sell the Fyre IP
Billy McFarland continues his attempts at reviving Fyre Festival with the announcement of the a new event in the Caribbean.
The upcoming “Fyre Coral View Pop-Up in Utila” will take place on September 3 to September 10 in Utila, Honduras — a small, undeveloped island. A statement from the Fyre Hotels website reads, “After news broke a few weeks ago that we were putting the FYRE IP up for sale, we got a message. A small beach resort and the island of Utila, Honduras had seen the headlines — and they had an idea. They have tapped FYRE to bring global attention to this off-the-map gem, programming unforgettable experiences, and simply enjoying life at the edge of the reef.”
“This was a no-brainer for us, so just like that, FYRE has found its way back to the spark that started it all,” the statement continued. “In early September, FYRE returns to the Caribbean for the FYRE Resort Pop-Up at Coral View Utila—a weeklong escape blending adventure, spontaneity, and paradise. What better way to make our return to the Caribbean after 8 years?”
As history remembers it, the original 2017 Fyre Fest took place on the Bahamian island of Great Exuma.
McFarland recently tried to host Fyre Fest 2 and was scheduled for April 25 to April 28, this time on Isla Mujeres in Quintana Roo, Mexico. It was postponed indefinitely in mid-April then subsequently cancelled by late April. McFarland also announced that the brand was up for sale.
