Coachella Fined $20,000 for Travis Scott Set

By

Goldenvoice has been fined $20, 000 by the city of Indio for going past curfew for several minutes during Travis Scott‘s set during the first weekend of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts festival.

According to a statement, Scott performed overtime during his first weekend set.

Scott on April 12 closed his set three minutes past 1 a.m., resulting in the fine. According to a longstanding agreement between Goldenvoice and officials of the city, the festival end at 1 a.m. each Friday and Saturday night and at 12 a.m. on Sundays. Coachella is fined $20,000 for the first five minutes it exceeds the curfew limit according to the agreement.

Due to his set starting late, Scott went over his allotted time. The city of Indio City of Indio said Saturday’s fine was the only curfew fine issued across all three festival weekends, including both Coachella weekends and the Stagecoach festival, which ended on Sunday (April 27).

This is not the first time Goldenvoice is facing a curfew-related fines as in Goldenvoice paid a $54,000 fine after singer Paul McCartney went 54 minutes over his allotted time. Two years ago, Goldenvoice racked up more than $168,000 in fines after six performers — Bad BunnyFrank Oceanthe WeekndSkrillexFred Again and Four Tet — blew past their curfew times. Last year, a late performance by Lana del Rey cost the festival $17,000.

While Goldenvoice officials have generally taken a hands-off approach to curfews and fines, other festivals have developed a reputation for cutting the power the minute an act goes past their allotted time. In 2021, festival organizers with BottleRock cut the power to the stage after a rollicky version of “Paradise City” sung by Guns N’ Roses and Dave Grohl went past the time limit. And in 2012, London police cut Bruce Springsteen‘s microphone and sound after he invited McCartney on stage — a full 30 minutes after his curfew had passed.
