In the lead-up to the United Kingdom's famous Glastonbury festival this summer, well-heeled partiers shelled out for fancy "glamping" yurts — those tent-like dwellings with ancient origins in Central Asia that have been appropriated by hippies in recent decades — and the people who took their money are now telling them they're out of luck.

The cursed sequel was originally supposed to take place in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, in late May. Then last week, organizers announced that the event had been "postponed," promising that a "new date will be announced." Then the announcement mysteriously vanished. Shortly afterward, organizers tri

Remember Fyre Fest, the 2017 music festival that crashed and burned so epically that it became a metaphor for failed ventures? After threatening to follow up with a second Fyre Festival in April 2023, convicted fraudster and organizer Billy McFarland has announced that Fyre Festival 2 was scheduled to kick off in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, on May 30 of this year.

In Brief Billy McFarland is back, with Fyre Festival 2. Scheduled to take place in Isla Mujeres, Mexico from May 30 to June 2, tickets just went on sale, ranging from $1,400 to a truly brazen $1.1 million — even though no artists have been confirmed, and McFarland himself isn’t sure if he can legally leave the country to attend, as he told the Today show Monday morning.
