Fyre Festival - the infamous 2017 scandal – will be returning in 2024, with some tickets going for as much as $7,999 (€7200), organiser Bill McFarlan told the Wall Street Journal.

Though the likes of Blink-182 and Migos were pegged as headliners for 2017’s festival, acts and events for Fyre II are still being decided. McFarlan also said Honduras, Belize, Turks and Caicos, Jamaica and Panama are all in consideration as potential locations.

The original event, endorsed by celebrities like Kendall Jenner and Bella Hadid, was co-founded by McFarland and the rapper Ja Rule and scheduled to take place in the Bahamas in 2017. As seen in the hit Netflix documentary Fyre: The Greatest Party That Never Happened, it was billed to take place on a remote private island that supposedly once belonged to the drug trafficker Pablo Escobar.

Guests were promised a luxurious experience, complete with fancy accommodation and deluxe food. Upon arrival, punters were instead greeted with a waterlogged campsite and emergency tents, which would otherwise be used for disaster relief.

Luggage was thrown into a dark car park and food came in the form of cheese sandwiches in takeaway containers. There was no running water or electricity either, as artists, including headliners Blink-182, pulled out of their sets.

The fiasco caused over $26m in losses when it was cancelled, with McFarlan being jailed in 2018 after pleading guilty to numerous fraud charges relating to the festival, as well as his company NYC VIP Access, which sold fake tickets to events such as the Met Gala.
