While McFarland won’t be starring in the play himself, he’ll be narrating the story as well as hiring an actor to portray him. “I have a killer partner who is doingall the logistics. I’m here to just f— things up and make s— go viral,” he said of plans surrounding the venue and production dates.
As for Fyre Fest 2.0, McFarland said that the Bahamian people and companies owed money from the disgraced first edition of the festival “are getting paid back right now.” In 2018, McFarland was sentenced to six years in prison after admitting to defrauding investors in the disastrous 2017 Fyre Festival, which was promised to be a luxury destination music event with extravagant promotion from A-list celebrity influencers. But when ticket-holders showed up to the Exuma island in The Bahamas, they found the event they were promised was totally unrealized. McFarland also pleaded guilty to charges in a later ticket-selling scam.
“The reaction for getting artists has been so extreme,” he continued. “Half of them are like, ‘F— off. How dare you even call us?’ And there’s half [who have been] been texting, emailing, saying, ‘Hey, like what can we do to come?’”
