According to TMZ, the singer's performance exceeded the designated time limit by a mere 13 minutes.

At first glance, this may not seem like a serious violation. However, Coachella has a contractual agreement with the city of Indio, which implies significant fines for each minute that exceeds the curfew.

The city authorities have revealed that Coachella gets fined $20,000 each day if they go over the curfew by more than five minutes.

After that, they have to pay an extra $1,000 for every additional minute.

As a result, Lana Del Rey's performance went over by 13 minutes, leading to a significant fine of $28,000.

Despite this incident, the fans of the singer didn't let the news bother them.

Instead, they praised and admired Lana Del Rey for performing an unforgettable show at this year's Coachella.

She performed 19 songs in total, and even had a surprise duet with Camila Cabello on her new song, 'I LUV IT.'

Remarkably, this fine was the only fine from the second weekend of Coachella, and no further fines were reported for the organizers.

So, it was not a 'big deal' for the organizers.

This is not the first time a singer performed exceed the curfew of the show.

Last year, famous British DJ Calvin Harris faced a similar situation when he exceeded his limited performance time.

However, Harris made sure to give his fans an extraordinary show, compensating for the delay and leaving a lasting impression.
