Coachella weekend 2 wrapped up on a low note, financially speaking, as the music festival is facing a $28,000 fine over Lana Del Rey‘s set.
A rep for the City of Indio, where Coachella takes place, tells TMZ … the singer’s show went over 13 minutes on Friday night. Might not sound like THAT bad of an infraction, but it’s enough to trigger the hefty fine.

Lana’s weekend 2 set featured 19 songs in total … including a surprise performance from Camila Cabello, who performed her new single, “I LUV IT.”
However, we’re told this is the only fine from the music festival’s 2 weekends … so, overall, the Coachella organizers probably see this as a win.

The $28K is a huge difference from last year’s curfew violations, which resulted in $117,000 in fines. Similarly, in 2022, the festival’s 2 weekends — plus 1 weekend of Stagecoach — resulted in the city handing out $61K in fines.

Still, from what we’ve been told, this year’s event was noticeably less rowdy than previous years.

As TMZ previously reported … weekend 1 was down 20% in arrests and down 43% in citations.

Yet, this might have something to do with the lackluster ticket sales for this year’s event. There were loads of Coachella passes still up for grabs on the website … strikingly different from past years, where the event sold out in less than a day.

So, while the decrease in arrests and fines is good for the city … it might be a bad sign for Coachella’s future.
