Organizers of a Fyre Festival sequel said Wednesday it will no longer take place in the Mexican resort town of Playa Del Carmen after its website momentarily announced the event had been postponed, sparking confusion among ticketholders.
The festival's promoter, Billy McFarland, told NBC News that the date is dependent on location, so it's not immediately clear whether the plans to hold a multiday festival next month would change.
In a further statement to ticketholders, organizers were adamant the show would go on.
"FYRE Festival 2 is still on," it says. "We are vetting new locations and will announce our host destination soon. Our priorities remain unchanged: delivering an unforgettable, safe, and transparent experience."
But there was doubt earlier Wednesday when the event's website inexplicably told ticket buyers "FYRE 2 Festival is postponed and will be rescheduled for a later date in the future." The message was then updated to say tickets were "currently not available."
