Fyre Festival con man Billy McFarland is ready to entertain again.

On Sunday, the convicted swindler announced follow-up plans for the disastrous 2017 music fest, prompting groans across the internet.

Fyre Festival II is finally happening, the promoter tweeted with the requisite flame emoji. Tell me why you should be invited.

McFarland was sentenced to six years in prison in October 2018 following the original cursed event, which took place on the Bahamian island of Great Exuma. He served four years and was released in May 2022.

Though attendees were promised a luxury experience for the price of admission (with some elite tickets costing a reported $12,000 apiece), they arrived at an island full of flimsy tents and unappetizing sandwiches , but without the big-name performances they expected.
