Coachella organizers were slapped with a hefty USD 20,000 penalty for letting Travis Scott‘s performance extend beyond the curfew during the festival’s inaugural weekend. According to statements issued by city officials, Goldenvoice is now responsible for remitting this fine to the City of Indio.
On Saturday, April 12th, the rapper ended his performance about three minutes beyond the city’s imposed curfew, which was midnight. For a long time, Goldenvoice has had a strong partnership with the city, and according to their arrangement, the festival must conclude at midnight on Fridays and Saturdays, and at 11 pm on Sundays.
Scott exceeded his time limit as his performance apparently began late, resulting in the city officials informing Billboard that the fine for breaking curfew was the sole one issued throughout all three festival weekends. This rule applied to both Coachella weekends and Stagecoach, which concluded on April 27th.
It’s not unprecedented that festival organizers face fines due to extending beyond their time limits. For instance, in the year 2009, Goldenvoice was penalized USD 54,000 because singer Paul McCartney ran over by 54 minutes past his assigned time.
2 years back, Coachella faced penalties totaling over $168,000 because six artists – Bad Bunny, Frank Ocean, the Weeknd, Skrillex, Fred Again, and Four Tet among them – exceeded their allotted performance times beyond the set curfew.
Previously, it was reported that Lana Del Rey’s tardiness at Coachella resulted in a fine of approximately $17,000. The organizers, Goldenvoice, generally adopted a laissez-faire attitude and never intervened directly when artists ran over their scheduled performance times.
Nevertheless, Billboard states that certain festivals have a history of resorting to drastic actions such as shutting off electricity. In 2021, the organizers of BottleRock actually disconnected the power source for the stage during Guns N’ Roses and Dave Grohl’s performance of Paradise City.
In 2012, the police in London resorted to a comparable action by momentarily muting Bruce Springsteen’s microphone during his live show.
