Fyre Fest founder Billy McFarland is living the free life today! He is a year away from a six-year prison sentence and is eyeing a big project.
McFarland is best known for his monstrous passion project Fyre Festival. The 31-year-old intends to co-found a music festival with Ja Rule in the spring of 2017.
The result would be one of the most important popular culture moments of recent years. The fall of the festival was chronicled through documentaries on both Netflix and Hulu, and its impact helped propel McFarland to stardom.
He was sentenced to six years and given early transfer to community confinement.
McFarland is looking to put prison time in his rearview mirror by trying to get back on the festival circuit. Can he bring back the infamous Fyre Festival for round two?

McFarland was sent to prison after failing to deliver at a large-scale music festival. According to our report on McFarland’s community detention transfer, his lawyers applied for his early release two years ago but were denied.
McFarland eventually spoke out about the disastrous celebration and apologized for his actions.
“I am deeply sorry for my collective actions and will correct the mistakes I have made to my family, friends, partners, colleagues and the public,” he said in an interview with People. “I always sought – and dreamed – to achieve extraordinary things by pushing the envelope to deliver for the common good, but I made many wrong and immature decisions along the way and caused suffering. As a result, I have lived in prison every day in pain, and I will continue to do so until I can atone for some of the harm through work and actions that society deems responsible,” McFarland promised.
