So says McFarland, who made the announcement in a video posted to YouTube on Sunday, explaining it’s all systems go.

“This is a big day. It has been the absolute wildest journey to get here, and it really all started during a seven-month stint in solitary confinement,” the ex-convict said.

“I wrote out this 50-page plan of how it would take this overall interest and demand in Fyre and how it would take my ability to bring people from around the world together to make the impossible happen.”

The 31-year-old said he worked with the “best partners in the world” who have allowed “me to be me while executing Fyre’s vision to the highest level.”

The promoters said he ultimately decided to once again hold Fyre 2.0 in the Caribbean, following consultation from people “as far away as the Middle East and South America.”

The latest installment will take place at the end of 2024, though there aren’t any concrete details about the event on the website, including specific dates, location and festival lineup.

VIP perks described on the site are vague, such as “FYRE Pop-Ups,” “The FYRE Crew Community” and “FYRE Experiences,” including “FYRE Fights” and documentary and film screenings and weekend trips.

Tickets are up for grabs and are listed from $499 to $7,999.

For those unfamiliar with the original 2017 event, the festival was promoted as a luxury music festival in the Bahamas with help from A-list models such as Kendall Jenner and Emily Ratajkowski. The lineup was originally advertised to include Blink-182, Pusha T, Kaytranada, Major Lazer and Lil Yachty.

Rapper Ja Rule even jumped on board as a promoter.

The disastrous event went viral, and its downfall led to documentaries on both Hulu and Netflix: Fyre Fraud and Fyre: The Greatest Party That Never Happened, respectively.

In March 2018, McFarland pleaded guilty to wire fraud and got six years in prison. He served nearly four in federal prison for defrauding investors and committing wire fraud.

He was released in May 2022 and transferred to a halfway house for community confinement and has been on supervised release since.

McFarland cheated victims out of more than $26 million.
