Fox News
Fyre Festival creator Billy McFarland announced the sale of the Fyre brand on Wednesday after Fyre Festival 2, which was set to take place in Mexico in late May, was postponed.
"FYRE is one of the most powerful attention engines in the world," McFarland wrote in a Wednesday statement posted to Fyre Festival's Instagram. "Since 2017, FYRE has dominated headlines, documentaries, and conversations as one of the most talked-about music festivals. We knew FYRE was big, but we didn't realize just how massive the wave would become. That wave brought us here: to a point where we know it's time to call for assistance."

McFarland added that the Fyre brand "deserves a team with the scale, experience, and infrastructure to realize its full potential."
