""What's up, guys? This is the big day, because, as of right now, Fyre Festival II tickets are officially on sale," founder Billy McFarland, now over a year out of prison as a result of the last Fyre Festival and wearing a fluffy white robe, announced in a video uploaded to his personal CZcams channel on Sunday.
It's been six years since the original Fyre Festival took place on the island of Great Exuma in the Bahamas. "Took place" is loose parlance - sure, people arrived in the Bahamas for a music festival. But they were greeted with disaster: The promised "luxury lodging" was actually tents, "gourmet food" was haphazard cheese sandwiches, and artists slated to perform simply weren't there."

Republicans gonna nominate him for President if he keeps this up.
Bro... lol, damn that's good. Wish I thought of that one! haha
These little kids vote TRUMP, this is why our country is doomed!
Like voting for Trump a third time.
Pretty much perfect analogy. Beating their heads against the wall, counting on morons to keep showing up. "But this hate hat and Trump flag, you'll look insane!" "Ok" derp
I'm sure if Trump doesn't get elected this time he'll try for a third time just to raise money 💰 and Republicans will fall for it.
I see a bright future for him in Trump’s cabinet
I think this guy, Billy McFarland missed his calling. He should have run for congress like George Santos, or run for president in the Republican primary. His lies wouldn't stand out as badly if he did that.
Oh, he's still young enough. Maybe after Trump dies and leaves all those mouth-breathing MAGAs with no one to rip them off he'll decide to get into politics. Somebody has to fleece the sheep.
He's got that frat boy con vibe. Perfect fit for a warm up act at the Trump rally.
@@Greg-io1iphe borrowed someone’s ear pods😂
Oh, like Dems have it together or something? Ha
He could run for president. He’s already been in jail.
This guy is going back to jail. How is this not a parole violatio
Same as jim baker!
I agree with Sharon if if ppl buy tickets to that and its a scam again they totally deserve it
He must have graduated from trumps grifter University
The fact that people are actually buying tickets indicates that something very bad is happening to humans. Is gullibility a disease?
I cannot believe it sold out… after all those people weren’t paid… I also cannot believe Billy would come out alive if he goes back to the Bahamas…
These little kids vote TRUMP, this is why our country is doomed!
Fyre Festival 2: Shame on Me
Someone should suggest to Trump to do one of these. It’s one of the only swindles he hasn’t done yet
"I began planning the second festival when I was spending a prison sentence for the first one". That's the OPENING of his sales pitch.
Is Florida a duchebag magnet?
You have the ex-president, governor, and now this guy!
Mission accomplished!
Can't forget the Skeletor healthcare fraudster and PizzaGaetz himself
Some people never learn.
“I came up with this idea during 7 months of solitary confinement!” Yeah man we can tell.
Who the hell would give this guy money again?
I'm not even mad at this guy. Grift away. Anyone willing to trust him again clearly has too much money and not enough common sense. 😂
You can put the man in prison but you can’t take the con out of the man.
It came to me right after I spent seven months in solitary confinement after which I went clinically insane. Then everything became crystal clear. Ooh Look! Butterflies
😂
Thank you Mr. Gleib for your work and commentary. Apparently that guy McFarland wants to go back to prison.
I have zero sympathy for anyone who gets involved in this madness.
Dude, if someone buys tickets this time, it is their fault.
This guy is the embodiment of "believe in yourself no matter what, even if it's all lies"
This guy is the embodiment of "lie to others no matter what, even if they don't believe you".
Unfortunately, that fits with many people, especially psychopaths. The worst thing about it is that many people will believe it, and refuse to accept that it isn’t true. It’s now far, far easier to con someone than to get the conned individual to admit that they have been conned.
Fyre Festival 2 - "If you buy the ticket you deserve what you are getting."
He couldn't even put together a children’s birthday party.
They're going to throw him right back in the can !!! Good Grief...
A fool and his money shall soon be parted 😂
Like P.T. Barnum said; “There’s a sucker born every minute.”
😂
Make Trump the headliner and all of his followers will sign up.
Looks like he has the chops to become the Republican nominee for President.
This dude is the prime example of failing up stairs.
Fool Me Twice Festival 2024
We should be ecstatic about this because the Internet Historian will make a part 2 now.
I'm hyped not for the event itself but for The Internet Historian's Fyre Festival video getting a sequel 🔥
Idiocracy is today!
He gives American Psycho vibes🤣
Tickets sold out.. seriously?
The list of 7 Deadly Sins should have included an 8th: Gullibility.
fool me once, shame on you. Fool me...fool me can't get fooled again!!!
I you're the kind of rube considering purchasing a ticket, you deserve everything you get
He didn't even change the name....WTF!?! I cannot....
Scam artist will always be a scam artist.
Step #1 of any plan like this one should be CHANGE THE NAME! lol
I seriously believe that Obsessive Compulsive Grifting should be considered a mental disorder.
Some people just love being conned and fleeced of all of their money.
If anyone buys a ticket...they are fools!
I bet he won't ever get a license to even throw a small blockparty again anywhere in the world.
Lol Maybe Somalia?
Who would seriously back this guy up? This Con man is truly separated from reality and his previous actions.
"A fool and his money are soon parted"
This guy saw how many people voted for Trump in 2020 and thought, "I know what I'm going to do when I get out of prison! The exact same thing again! All those morons who just voted for Trump will buy the tickets without hesitation! I could scam them 15 times in a row and they still wouldn't know that they've been scammed! I'm going to be filthy rich!"
The audacity is off the charts.
Best place to host this festival is Mar-a-Lago
He sounds like tRump.... THE BEST, THE GREATEST!! Send me money 😂😂😂
I hope he sells out again, these people deserve it
The thing I couldn't get my head around the first time was why people were willing to pay thousands to see Blink 182.
It's just a big money laundry scam.
Who in their right mind would believe this grifter?
Well, half this country voted for the biggest grifter of our time... TWICE! (and even now, a fourth of this country is begging to vote for him again.)
Trumptards.
The same people who still believe Trump?
While in jail, he studied the Trump playbook 🤬🤬
To be honest, paying 500 dollars for a ticket so you can stream the disaster online might make sense for some content creators.
Just the ticket alone is going to be worth a fortune in disaster fandom, what a collector's item!
@@ticthak😂😂😂
"There's an old saying in Tennessee - I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee - that says, fool me once, shame on - shame on you. Fool me - you can't get fooled again."

🤣
Oh Georgie weve had some special presidents over the last couple of decades
If crypto and NFTs were a concert. 🤦♂️
I think I bought a bridge in Manhattan from this guy last week!😯😯😯😯
Hey I want a bridge in Manhattan think you can hook me up? ill zelle you
FF 2.0...setting your investment ON FYRE!!!
"Fyre" Festival II... so you can get burned a second time.
He could actually use that slogan and people would still buy the tickets.
🤣@@henrywestbrook9773
If you're in solitary for seven months, you were, or are now if you weren't then, totally screwed up as a person.
This guy went sick inside and he's trying to do it again and this time he has a plan to abscond with the money and get away with it. Check Rio.
Narcissistic? Is that what this is?
Buddy got more time than some Jan 6 rioters.
True, but he ripped off rich people. That's a no,no.
@@davidanderson6100 Indeed.
He better not run into the people he still owe money to on the island .😮
Dumpster Fyre Fest
He owes millions for his last scam, so he's doing the exact same scam again to make that money. And of course idiots with way too much money are lining up to give him money.
"Fool me once, shame on me" and so on
Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me. I have zero sympathy for anyone who gives this lying conman a dime of their money this time.
Fool me once, shame on... shame on you. Fool me twice... shame on... Fool me, can't get fooled again! --George W Bush.
Evidently, one round of prison didn't work.
Maybe a longer second round will? I say we try it out.
Fyre Fest 2: This Time It's Not Fyre Fest 1!
How stupid can you be to go for round two of this? lol
Running the same scam back fresh off a jail stint is WILD
It will be successful if he can organize it right. 6 years ago it was. Now you have all new young people who are oblivious to the past event. People will buy it because people are stupid.
People don’t always get what they want but sometimes they do get what they deserve. 😂
At least he got a vision.. the idiots are the people who are gonna buy tickets
After the first Fyre festival and the documentary they are still paying for this? 😂
I’m waiting for the next documentary.
I guess he forgot about the conditions of his parole
Whats the merch consist of? Straight jackets? How about family intervention training manuals!
This guy must have really liked prison.
There's Burning Man, and then there's Burning Wallet. Dumpster Fire indeed.
Lmao i cant wait to see this documentary. Watching entitled rich kids fight for fema tents and pillows are the funniest thing you can watch.
Your best bet (outside of bypassing this altogether) would be to buy the first tickets and sell them as soon as the price goes up.
How do I get donor list? I have bridges to sell! 😂
Wow and people are actually buying tickets again!
He says Fyre Fest 2 as if there was a Fyre Fest 1.
Nothing surprises me after Trump raised 7 million dollars after his last arrest.
Just 50 pages after 3 years in jail? I expected at least 300 . 50 pages is what one would expect from ja rule.
Was there no conditions on his release? Is he out on probation? After some quick googling: he was released to a hale way house, and originally he was sentenced to jail until August 30 2023. I have no idea what his parole conditions were, but I would think starting up another scam would be a clear violation. Call Manhattan DA and make sure his parole officer is alerted.
No financing, no acts, no location, no accommodations, no experience putting on a music fest, no details of any kind and yet people already bought tickets
Do you really think people bought tickets? I think he's lying to get people to buy.
got my tickets. cant wait!
Im guessing the ones buying it are content creators just wanting report on the utter failure for content.
I was in solitary confinement and I figured out another way to scam y'all again. 😂😂😂😂
Fyre Festival lineup:
Jason Aldean

Six yrs ago when he first got in trouble for this, were there a lot of ppl supporting him? If yes, who? And was this political as in one side supported him?
Thx.
weird, he sounds almost exactly like Vivek Ramaswamy
Yes he does fast talking bullshitter
I am getting a Ramasmarmy vibe there, now that you mention it 😁
Hilarious 😂 He must be a TRUMP UNIVERSITY GRADUATE 🎓 🤣
