Coachella Facing Huge Fine After Lana Del Rey Broke Golden Rule

It’s a musical free-for-all, where anything goes… except breaking the golden rule.  

 And breaking that rule? Well, let’s just say it can cost you more than a few festival tickets. 

Lana Del Rey, the sultry songstress, is learning this lesson the hard way.  

 According to TMZ, her set at Coachella’s second weekend came with a hefty price tag.

How hefty, you ask? Try a whopping $28,000 for just 13 minutes of extra stage time. 

And before you start thinking it’s about her song choices, think again.

It’s all about the clock, folks.  

The city of Indio, where Coachella takes place, ain’t playing around when it comes to curfew.

And every minute past that curfew? Cha-ching, cha-ching.  

City officials spilled the tea to TMZ, revealing the hefty fines Coachella faces for breaking curfew.  

$20,000 for the first five minutes late, and an extra grand for each minute after.  

Ouch, that hurts just thinking about it.

 But hey, at least Lana’s fans got their money’s worth.  

Nineteen songs, one surprise guest appearance by Camila Cabello – talk about a showstopper.  

And despite the hefty fine, it seems Lana’s fans are still singing her praises.

But Lana’s not the first to feel the sting of Coachella’s curfew crackdown.  

Last year, Calvin Harris found himself in hot water for going overtime on his set.

The British DJ arrived fashionably late, but boy, did he make up for it.  

 With over 100,000 fans grooving to his beats, Harris turned the desert into his personal dance floor.

And while he may have broken curfew, he certainly won’t be losing sleep over it.  

In fact, he took to social media to share his Coachella experience, calling it a dream come true.  

So, what’s a little fine when you’re living the dream, right?  

But let’s not forget the real stars of the show: the organizers.  

We reached out to them for comment, but hey, they’re probably too busy counting their cash.  

 After all, it’s not every day you make headlines for raking in fines faster than you can say “encore.”  

So, here’s to Coachella – where the music’s hot, the fines are hotter, and the party never stops… until curfew, that is.
