OG Fire Festival Event Planner Billy sets herself up for another failure!!!
April 7, 2025 1:59pm PDT
Event planner Andy King is disappointed with Billy McFarland – who says he wanted the prison to knock him some kind of sensation after the first fyre festival Fire Co, but obviously not… because Round 2 is already on fire.
In a long IG post, Andy said it was about giving Billy a second chance – no one else stood by his side… he even connected with him a year and a half ago to help him concentrate on empathy and pay people back from the OG festival. But obviously, it was all pointless.
Andy added that in addition to losing hundreds of thousands of dollars of his own money, his career was also a hit.
In fact, Andy says that when he began discussing the financial package to confirm that he was paid this time in FF2, Billy went out to ghost him and do his thing.

Andy shared the post in a screenshot of her 2019 Netflix Doc “Fyre: The Greatest Party that Mapppented.”
His posts roughly summarise his belief that Billy never shared the same goal.
TMZ has said it has retrieved text messages from event producers for Fyre Fest 2.0 and blamed the Mexican government for pulling plugs for the event in Playa Del Carmen.
According to producers, authorities are acting as if there were no clues that the fest was happening. There’s a wild twist considering Billy a day ago claimed that his team was working with Playa del Carmen to move things forward and posting an entire timeline of supposed interactions.

There are obviously a lot of things that are riding on Fire Festival 2. Billy was convicted of fraud and sentenced to six years in prison after the disaster, which was the first festival in 2017. He was released in 2022.
