RIP to the Roadtrip of the Century: FYRE FEST 2 Postponed
You can read about it here.
We’re not crying, you’re crying.
FYRE FEST 2 has been officially postponed. Yes, the Surly Horns beachy fever dream we were manifesting in Playa del Carmen has fizzled faster than a sparkler in a hurricane.
Our team was ready.
We were supposed to be rolling deep from Austin to Mexico in the Surly Horns Cybertruck, windows down, speakers up, living on a steady diet of road snacks and delusion. This was more than a music festival—it was a moment. A vibe. A questionable financial decision with a whole lot of Instagram potential.
And let’s not forget the most tragic cancellation of all: Bibi Hadid will NOT be joining us. We repeat, Bibi Hadid is OUT. Even worse, @immamac has informed me that she's not returning our deposit, but that’s a separate trauma we’re working through with our lawyer.
Playa del Carmen officials swear no permits had been issued. Do we believe them? Do we believe anyone anymore? TBD. The trust is broken, and so are our dreams of overpriced margaritas and sand in our shoes.
We know many of you were counting on our coverage of the chaos, and we were counting on a few unforgettable selfies in questionable outfits. But for now, all we can say is: stay tuned. We’ll be posting updates as we attempt to untangle the refund situation (pro tip: Venmo transactions labeled “concert vibez” apparently aren’t protected under buyer protection).
So here we are. Stuck in Austin. No beach. No lineup. No Bibi. No festival. Just us, a Cybertruck with a full tank, and way too much canned rosé.
@South Austin, please go ahead and request Bibi's used panties. I hope it freaks her out.
