TICKETHOLDERS planning to go to Fyre Festival 2 are left in limbo after a bizarre message announcing the event’s delay was posted and then deleted on the festival’s website.
Following weeks of speculation about the future of the controversial festival, a message on the event’s website on Wednesday said the weekend would be rescheduled for a later date.
The message was quickly revised moments later, leaving concertgoers confused about the future of the festival.
“Fyre 2 Festival is postponed and will be rescheduled for a later date in the future,” the now-deleted statement on the website read.
“If you have purchased tickets already, you will receive an email once the new date is confirmed.”
The website then said tickets, ranging from $1,400 each, were “unavailable.”
Then the site was updated again to appear as though it had never been changed at all.
Billy McFarland, the festival’s founder, has yet to share a comment on the news.
The festival was scheduled from May 30 to June 2 in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico.
However, city officials previously told The U.S. Sun they knew nothing about the upcoming event.
McFarland, 33, shared social media posts on April 4 saying festival organizers had been working with Mexican officials to get permits for the festival.
He said a festival lineup would be announced in March, but no performers or celebrities have been revealed.
It’s unclear if the festival will continue.
The unfolding chaos comes years after the first Fyre Fest in the Bahamas in 2017 ended in a mess.
The days-long celebration ended early after the festival ran short on food and accommodations for ticketholders, who had spent thousands of dollars to fly to the disappointing event.
The event, promoted by celebrities like Kendall Jenner and Bella Hadid, was sold as a star-studded island getaway with acts by popular entertainers.
