Should the revised date suit your availability, feel free to buy tickets again.\”

The festival originally planned to occur between May 30 and June 2, 2025, offering tickets priced from $1,400 up to $25,000, along with an exclusive option for a $1 million package.

The local tourism board stated that they \”are not aware of this event.\”
While festival organizer Billy McFarland stated that he and his team have kept in touch with local and state authorities to guarantee complete adherence and a smooth event that would benefit the local economy.
