Fyre Festival 2.0 Adios Mexico, Porque You You Screwed us!!!
April 6, 2025 9:16am PDT
Fire Festival 2.0 will not be coming down next month at Playa del Carmen in Mexico. Organizers say it was because it was screwed into the royal family by the Mexican government.
TMZ says it retrieved a text message sent by Fyre Fest event producer Nick Botero, and was backed by Mexican officials. Rather than etching words, Nick says, “They f***ed us.”
Nick said the government is acting like they didn’t know the festival was down in May…” [the government] Posted on X, Instagram and more, giving blessings and support, and yesterday they say they have never heard of their hilarious things. ”
Nick said the government was “completely lying,” and said, “We’re not offering hope at this point, saying we haven’t had an event there.
Nick doubled in text, saying, “At this time, we will not be holding a festival at Playa.”
Nick throws the towel and says, “We’ll move elsewhere.” He’s not that specific and the clock ticking fast.
TMZ got these text messages a day after Billy McFarland claimed he and his team were working with Playa del Carmen to confirm the festival was moving forward and posted a timeline with alleged interactions with the government.
His documents are said to show receipts for costly payments submitted to the city, emailing communications with officials, and submitting receipts for the city’s costly payments to secure various permits.
Waiting for permission to load Instagram media.
Billy posted the document after the Playa del Carmen government issued a statement saying “such events will not take place in our city.”
By the way, this is not the first time Mexican officials have denied Feelfest going there. It was originally supposed to be held at Isla Mujeres…but the island’s city hall announced in February that no permission for such an event had been submitted.

Billy has given up on the upcoming future of his beloved festival, and says TMZ will be run by “Real Music Professionals” and “Real Artists” in February. Last month, Antonio Brown told us he was part of the lineup, but this hasn’t been announced yet.
Fyre Festival 2 has many risks. In 2017, the world was watching the crash and burns of the original festival. Billy was convicted of fraud and sentenced to six years in prison.
He was released in 2022 and has been on a red path ever since.
