Controversy surrounds the announced Fyre Festival 2 as local authorities in Isla Mujeres, Mexico deny any knowledge of the event. Despite tickets going on sale ranging from $1,400 to $1.1 million, the festival faces significant credibility concerns.

Edgar Gasca, representative from Isla Mujeres' tourism directorate, states unequivocally: "We have no knowledge of this event, nor contact with any person or company about it. For us, this is an event that does not exist."

Key issues raising red flags:

• No municipal authorization or permits have been requested
• Hotels listed as accommodation partners deny any involvement
• No confirmed headliners for the event
• Location coordinates on the website point to the ocean between Cancún and Isla Mujeres
• Local government and tourism board have no knowledge of planning efforts

While organizers Lostnights claim they're "producing a highly exclusive, boutique and sustainable experience" scheduled for May 30 – June 2, they acknowledge permits are still being worked on. Billy McFarland, the convicted fraudster behind the original Fyre Festival disaster, insists "Fyre 2 is real" despite the mounting skepticism.

The tourism board's official position remains firm: without proper permits and local coordination, the festival cannot legally proceed. Given the infamous collapse of the original Fyre Festival and current lack of infrastructure planning, potential attendees are advised to exercise extreme caution.
