Former NFL star Antonio Brown claims he will perform at the upcoming Fyre Festival II, making him potentially the first confirmed artist for the controversial event's sequel.

Brown, who gained musical recognition with his 2022 viral hit "Put That Sh**t On" and performed at Rolling Loud Miami, made the announcement during a TMZ interview. "Be there or be square," Brown stated, though it remains unclear if his claim is legitimate or merely a response to recent Fyre Festival news coverage.

Festival organizer and convicted fraudster Billy McFarland has been promoting the event's second edition since his release from prison. Despite the Isla Mujeres tourism board stating they've had no contact with organizers, McFarland insists "Fyre Festival 2 is real."

Ticket prices range from $1,400 to $1.1 million, with premium packages promising exclusive experiences including:

• ATV adventures
• Beach volleyball
• Training sessions with an unnamed MMA star

Anonymous sources told TMZ that multiple other performers have accepted deals to appear at the event, with many allegedly agreeing to lead festival experiences. With less than two months until the scheduled event date, questions remain about McFarland's ability to successfully execute the festival.

The original 2017 Fyre Festival became infamous for its catastrophic failure, resulting in multiple lawsuits and McFarland's imprisonment for fraud. This upcoming edition faces similar skepticism from local authorities and industry observers.
