Justin Bieber’s Coachella Weekend 2 recap landed alongside reports that his late-ending set helped trigger a $20,000 curfew fine for festival organizers. (people.com, nbclosangeles.com) Bieber posted backstage and onstage photos on Instagram on Tuesday, April 21, including shots with Hailey Bieber from the April 17-19 second weekend in Indio, California. People reported the post showed the couple backstage during the festival and moments from his set. (people.com) City figures reported by NBC Los Angeles said Weekend 2 fines totaled more than $40,000, with $20,000 tied to Saturday after Bieber’s set ended at 1:02 a.m., two minutes past the 1 a.m. cutoff. The same report said Anyma’s Friday set ended at 1:09 a.m., bringing another $24,000 in penalties. (nbclosangeles.com, billboard.com) Those overtime penalties are set by the city of Indio, which fines the festival when performances run past permitted end times at the Empire Polo Club grounds. TMZ reported Weekend 1 stayed within schedule, while Weekend 2 produced the extra charges. (tmz.com, nbclosangeles.com) The same weekend produced a separate backstage mystery involving Madonna’s wardrobe from her surprise appearance with Sabrina Carpenter. Police now say the missing bags may have fallen off a golf cart, and they have found no evidence of theft. (people.com, usatoday.com) Madonna said on Instagram that several vintage items from her personal archive disappeared after the performance, including a jacket, corset, dress, hat, tie, belt and shoes, along with jewelry. PrimeTimer reported the missing pieces were part of the look she wore when she joined Carpenter onstage at Coachella 2026. (people.com, primetimer.com) USA Today reported the items were last seen on a golf cart at the Empire Polo Grounds shortly after 1:30 a.m. on Saturday, April 18, and Madonna offered a reward for their return. People later reported Indio police told ABC News the bags may simply have slipped off the vehicle. (usatoday.com, people.com) Coachella’s second weekend is now being remembered for two offstage headaches: a curfew bill tied to late sets and a missing-costume case that police no longer describe as a likely theft.
