00:00Get ready for Fyre Fest 2!
00:03It's just a few weeks away and it's full of surprises!
00:06Like the food, the lineup...
00:08They're not going to have it in Mexico.
00:10And the location!
00:12Oh boy, here we go again.
00:14So Fyre Festival 2 was supposed to happen in Playa del Carmen in Mexico.
00:18Starting May 30th.
00:20But we just obtained text from the event's producers where they say...
00:24Mexican government is a joke. They f***ed us.
00:27What happened?
00:28Playa del Carmen released a statement saying that no such event with that name will take place in our city.
00:32Well they also said we've never been even asked.
00:35Billy McFarlane and his team have said we got their blessing.
00:40And the man responsible for Fyre Fest 1, legally according to his prison sentence, wouldn't lie, right?
00:46So Billy McFarlane posted a big timeline showing when he had interactions with city officials that on this date we got permits.
00:53He even posted the permit! Seems legit.
00:56Seems legit if you don't speak Spanish.
00:58People who live in Playa del Carmen are pointing out that the permits he's showing is for a beach club that only allows 250 people,
01:05only pre-recorded music, and it has a decibel limit.
01:10So adios Mexico!
01:12Way to hold Billy's feet to the fire!
