You would be forgiven for thinking that after Fyre Fest — the luxury music event that has since become a byword for “shitshow” — that Billy McFarland would have put his festival organising days behind him. But apparently part-way through his prison sentence for fraud, when the 31-year-old McFarland was in solitary confinement, he came to the conclusion that once was not enough. Recently released from prison — and still repaying the $26 million he owes his fraud victims — he is now planning Fyre Fest II. What could go wrong?
